A regular feature for the sailors of the Royal British Navy was the Rum given to them every single day, right up until 1970. A tradition that has been the longest running in military history was unquestioningly accepted and carried out from 1655 until August 1st, 1970 - a day referred to as 'Black Tot Day'.

The Rum Ration, or tot, was the everyday dose of rum given to sailors on Royal Navy ships. A custom that was followed for over 300 years, it was believed to boost the morale of the sailors whose workplace was the decks of an 18th century ship.

Nothing comfortable or easy about cannonballs, gunpowder and the rough seas!

Now, imagine the days before complex ship machinery and refrigeration came into being. Food on the voyages was often rotten and would develop algae in the extreme weather conditions. Life at sea wasn't easy; it was tireless working for months with great risk of injury involved. The daily rum was what came to the rescue for the homesick and seasick sailors, the best the sailors could get.

Interestingly spirited!

[18+; Use an age indicator in YOUR BIO to confirm you're 18+ if you want to follow/comment or you'll be blocked for safety purposes] Deana Blake, a child raised without the affections of her father and the knowledge that her mother ran away with a pirate only to be hung like one soon after. Fighting to stay alive as her father sailed on a merchant ship, Deana learned many skills to get food or money even if it was pick-pocketing. She kept an old rum bottle to store what she could save and vowed to become the best sailor in the ocean to prove to her father and everyone else that her gender wasn't what was holding her back. Deana Blake, a woman serving as a cook aboard the ship Petrel, is not really getting anywhere closer to her dreams of being a well-known captain. Her skills in the kitchen are extraordinary, but her skills with a knife were just as known to anyone who dared enter her galley. She bribed her way onto the boat while manipulating the Captain to keep her aboard. Deana wouldn't do anything she didn't have to, and she wanted to earn the right to be a captain rather than take it, so that was how she spent years cooking for an ever-changing crew on the Petrel until the ship was attacked and sent to her watery grave. Deana Blake, a woman to be feared. Date Published: Nov 28, 2017 ✨~Ranks~✨ #1 BlackSails- 11/20/2021 #1 CharlesVane- 8/5/2023 #1 Piracy- 3/4/2024 #12 CanonxOC- 11/22/2021 #148 Pirates- 11/20/2021

Not because of the storms, the depths, or the curses whispered by old sailors-but because something watches him from beneath the waves. As a boy, he made a grave mistake. He freed a creature that should have never been unchained. A being with cold, unblinking eyes and a hunger as deep as the ocean itself. He told himself it was over, that the sea would forget. But the sea does not forget. And neither do the things that dwell within it. Now, no matter how far he sails, no matter how many tides pass, he feels it. The pull. The weight of an unseen gaze. The quiet patience of something waiting just below the surface. He should have never looked into those eyes. He should have let it die. But it is too late for regrets. 𝖔𝖗 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 a pirate, instead of finding a treasure, finds himself tangled in a mess with a certain merman. ──────────── 𝗠ost 𝗢utstanding 𝗥ankings! 𝟏# Boat (March 21th 2025) 𝟓# Male (April 21th 2025)

The human population increased from 1 billion to 7.8 billion between 1800 and 2020 because of sewage treatment, clean drinking water, vitamins, vaccines and antibiotics. In the USA in 1800, 46% of babies died before their fifth birthday; in 2020 less than 1% died. (Breastfeeding babies up to 12 months should be given 400 IU of vitamin D per day; 600 IU thereafter). In 1536, Jacques Cartier's crew were cured of scurvy with a tea made from the arbor vitae tree's needles (which have 50 mg of vitamin C per 100g). In 1796, Dr.E.Jenner developed a smallpox vaccine from cowpox. In 1812, When Napoleon invaded Russia only 40,000 soldiers survived a typhus epidemic; over 400,000 died. Between1848 and 1870, life expectancy in Liverpool, England, increased from 19 years to 40 years because of the new sewage system. In 1854, Dr. J. Snow identified a public well as the source of a cholera outbreak in London. In 1865, J.Lister applied a carbolic acid solution, to a boy's broken leg and was amazed when the leg bones fused back together without gangrene. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).

ALL THAT WAS LEFT BEHIND

Imagine a box. Any box you want. It could be a vintage chestnut chest imported from France, or a simple moldy cardboard box. Either way, it serves the same purpose, being shoved away in the corners of your dusty attic, with a variety of miscellaneous forgotten treasures. You never realise it's up there, abandoned in the thick coating of dust and neglect, until one day, it's all gone. It's always gone just when you discover that its contents may have been key to uncovering the troubled past of that box. But how much would it matter? How far would you go to retrieve the lost broken reveries? My name is Sea. It's a strange name, I know, especially since I can't recall ever being near a sea, but my folks have always been rather strange people. At least, from what I can remember. I've never really known them, but my whole life has been formed around their existence. The things I have learned from them could be looked at as troubled lessons of the world I lived in, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, accepting that fact could only be the beginning. This is all that I had gained from my life, and everything my parents gave me. This is all that they had left behind.
