How did ancient Chinese sailors survive months at sea without modern plumbing — while European crews were still dying from disease centuries later?
In this video, we uncover the forgotten engineering secrets of the Ancient Chinese Navy and how their ships quietly solved one of history’s deadliest problems: waste and sanitation at sea.
From the Song Dynasty’s floating river cities to the Ming treasure fleets of Admiral Zheng He, Chinese engineers developed watertight bulkheads, drainage systems, and medical protocols that kept tens of thousands of sailors alive on voyages lasting up to two years.
Despite detailed records of shipbuilding and navigation, Chinese sources remain strangely silent about the exact waste routines used aboard these vessels — leaving historians to piece together one of history’s greatest maritime mysteries.
If you enjoy lost technologies, ancient engineering, and history they never taught you in school, make sure to subscribe for more deep dives into forgotten innovations that shaped the world.
