Treasure Island

Why was the Hispaniola in such a bad condition when Jim boarded?

Just read part V of Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson and need some help with my homework. Thanks! :D

The Hispaniola had been the setting of extreme violence and mutiny by its crew. Thus, it was battered and neglected. Few crew members remain on board, many are on the island searching for treasure.
