True for the most part, but some ships did have females and they also spent months at a time in land ports.
They also had strict rules for how men treated females who were part of the crew. Basically, if she wanted to do the deed, she would let you know. Any harassment, attempts at coercion, or assaults were punishable by immediate death.
