I believe the same observation can be made on preserved sailing ships of the era. I have, alas, never been on one, but I've heard it said that the decks of the Victory are very short in height. I've also been in a few old cottages, and my head has found the low beams the hard way.
Makes you ponder if the tales of the 'Giants' in the old stories were in fact people who would be considered just 'tall' today (6ft+).
