I do not know whether they ever considered doing this to Nelson's statue.

The Royal Sovereign was Admiral Collingwood's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. It was the first British ship to fire a shot in the battle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Ro...vereign_(1786)
I should not put out to sea in that boat, M'Lord. It could not handle the waves. :)

I was just at a whisky and rum expo in Linköping. There I drank a rum called Gunroom. It was made according to old British regulations. It had the old spices used to hide the taste of badly made alcohol and was strong. Old regulations. Way too strong. I also tasted a whisky called Red Ensign. I probably could google images for them but as that’s not all I drank, erh, tasted. I might do so tomorrow. Later tomorrow.

“Navy strength” is a relatively new term. It was coined by the branding consultant John Murphy on behalf of Plymouth Gin in 1993 for something very old — what used to be called 100º UK proof spirit. It refers to a spirit that is bottled at exactly 57% alcohol by volume.

Pusser's Black Label rum is arguably as close as you can get to drinking what the Royal Navy once drank. This "Gunpowder Proof" rum clocks in at 109 proof (a little over 54-percent alcohol by volume) which is just shy of the 57-percent figure usually used to describe Navy-strength.

This elegant, extremely hard to find rum comes from the last remaining kegs of Royal Navy rum. That's right: the same stuff the sailors drank. It's chocolately, oaky, anisey—just incredible. A bottle costs as much as a car, but it comes with a free ration cup! [$1,000]
