Somewhat off topic, but...
Drinking water being a recent sub thread, I have long been a fan of good grog. Water, Pusser's Rum, raw sugar and lime juice.
Since my youth, I've been on hundreds of wooden ships, both restored originals and replicas. I have never noticed a system to collect rainwater.
Were there such systems in place, or was the water all from barrels stored on board?
