I read books on ships like around the 1700,1800's era and if you had to poop you would climb up the mast the goes over the water. There would be a make shift place with a hole to sit down and do your business.
I could go on and on about how it was to live on those ships that would be out at sea for several months at a time. But in a nutshell it was cramped and disgusting.
