    Not a pirate drink but maybe worth a mention, if you fancy a song. From 'Bobby Shafto'

    A man of renown, and the arguement still rages over if Nelson's blood was the Vat of Brandy in which he was shipped home, or the Rum tot in which the men toast his memory. Personally I think watered down Rum looks more like blood.

    Thank you for explaining about 'Nelson's Blood', Rob. I suppose that we could say that Nelson was one of these even though he was not part of the Admiralty.

    You are not that old, Rob.

    Having a whale of a time today Dave.


    "Greenland Whale Fisheries"

    In eighteen hundred and forty-six
    On March the eighteenth day
    We hoisted our colors to the top of the mast
    And for Greenland sailed away, brave boys
    And for Greenland sailed away

    The lookout in the crosstrees stood
    With spyglass in his hand
    There's a whale, there's a whale
    And a whalefish he cried
    And she blows at every span, brave boys
    She blows at every span

    The captain stood on the quarter deck
    The ice was in his eye
    Overhaul, overhaul! Let your gibsheets fall
    And you'll put your boats to sea, brave boys
    And you'll put your boats to sea

    Our harpoon struck and the line played out
    With a single flourish of his tail
    He capsized the boat and we lost five men
    And we did not catch the whale, brave boys
    And we did not catch the whale

    The losing of those five jolly men
    It grieved the captain sore
    But the losing of that fine whalefish
    Now it grieved him ten times more, brave boys
    Now it grieved him ten times more

    Now Greenland is a barren land
    A land that bares no green
    Where there's ice and snow, and the whalefishes blow
    And the daylight's seldom seen, brave boys
    And the daylight's seldom seen
