SHIPS' BISCUIT

WHAT IS IT?

• Made with water, flour & salt
• Baked repeatedly and left out in the sun to dry

HOW WERE THEY USED?

• Baked repeatedly then left in the sun to dry
• They done this so they could be stored over a long period of time without going off
• Were dipped in any liquid the seamen had when they were ready to eat it

HOW ARE THEY RELATED TO THE ARMADA'S FAILURE?

• The biscuits weren't very healthy so the sailors would be quite weak after eating them
• They were baked I'm such a way so that it would stop them from spoiling, but it was only partly successful.
• Rats and weevils would eat the biscuits, the sailors used the biscuits to knock out the weevils before eating them.
