Navy Strength Explained

Alcohol has played a crucial role in Naval history, dating back centuries. Sailors in the Royal British Navy received daily rations, known as tots, until July 31st, 1970. The gimlet was concocted to combat scurvy, while beer was brewed from water mixed with molasses and turpentine for long voyages like Captain Cook's journey to Australia in 1768. Spirits were prized for their longevity and high alcohol content, crucial for storing alongside gunpowder without risk. Before the invention of the hydrometer in 1816, sailors tested the potency of spirits by mixing them with gunpowder and then attempting to light them. If it ignited, they could be assured of the spirit's potency and the safety of their gunpowder stocks. This became known as the ‘proof’ of the spirit - which we now know as 57% ABV.
