My dad did 25 years in the Royal Navy and was violently seasick for the first few days of every deployment on a ship.

Just thinking about seasickness makes me sea sick. I could never accompany my friends on fair rides as I got so sick. Even swinging on a park swing made me sick. Just call me Ms. Landlubber. I like my feet on solid ground.

Lorraine , it doesn't say he suffered from seasickness as a child, only that he discovered he had it when he was in the navy so answer is wrong

He was born September 1758 and entered the Royal Navy in January 1771, so he was only 12 years old!!! Holy cow!!!

I don't think the answer should have been all his life, when he started his naval career in his late teens.
