Rum ration, английский
For 315 years great britain’s royal navy issued a daily tot of rum to its crews, making this one of the oldest and longest-lasting maritime traditions. originally, beer was carried to give the men a boost and replace water which deteriorated rapidly and became undrinkable. however, even that went off after a while, and this was compounded when unscrupulous brewers, in cahoots with corrupt pursers, provided sub-standard product, of which one report says; “sailors were under the necessity of shutting their eyes and ... holding their noses before they could drink it.” to replace this disgusting stuff ships began to load “wine of the country,” which meant arrack in asia, wine in the mediterranean, and rum or brandy elsewhere. distilled liquors required less space in the cramped hold and did not spoil like beer or wine because higher alcohol content acted as a preservative. rum was very inexpensive, being made from molasses which was a waste by-product of sugar manufacture. after the capture of jamaica in 1655, west indian sugar interests gained considerable political influence and, by 1731, had succeeded in making rum the royal navy’s almost universal drink. at this time the sailors received a whole pint (568 cc’s) of 95.5 proof rum every day at noon, more than enough to lead to intoxication and disciplinary problems. in 1740, admiral edward vernon ordered the quantity of rum to be halved and the rest to be cut with a quart of water (a 4:1 ratio) before being issued to seamen. petty officers and above received their half-ration undiluted and one hour earlier. the addition of lime juice and sugar made the “cocktail” more palatable (see gimlet). in 1850, the rum ration was halved again, but the mixture was made more powerful by changing the dilution to 3:1, and “grog money” was paid to teetotalers. this remained in effect until 1937 when seamen needed less fortification against the rigors of sea service, and more ability to concentrate on increasingly complex technology, so the rum ration was halved again to one-eighth pint, but at a stronger 2:1 mixture. after world war ii weapon systems and nuclear propulsion systems became increasingly complex, demanding intense concentration. first, a number of captains unilaterally moved the issue to the end of the working day rather than the traditional noontime, and then the admiralty abolished the practice entirely. the last ration was served on 31st july 1970, now known to the royal navy as “black tot day.” there was considerable resentment, and not a few old salts elected early retirement. (see also: grog, nelson’s blood, spirits in the usn, splice the mainbrace, and proofing the rum ration.)
