About Producer | Between the mid 17th and 19th centuries, the sailors of the Royal Navy were granted a daily ration of rum. This was afforded them by the ship’s Purser. The term Purser was gradually corrupted 'til it became Pusser. Before 1740, the daily ration included an entire pint of rum which was consumed neat. Before a battle, a double rum ration was issued. In fact, it was not before 1970 that the daily issue of rum was abolished, when the Admiralty Board deemed it unsuitable. |
