super special Ah, the life of a. 19th century
Royal Navy seaman. The smell of
salt in the air, the waves gently
rolling off the hull. Visits to exotic
southern ports; the honor of
sailing the high seas under the
`5 British flag. But the food . . .
Some of those sailors even
ended up, in Canada, at p laces
such as Penetanguishene, where
there now stands a reconstructed
Naval Establishment that was
active in the early 1800's. It's part
of the Historic Naval and Military
Establishment, open every day
this summer, where visitors
might see a sailor working on
ship's rigging or in the Military
Establishment; a woman tending
her garden, as would 'have been
done in the 1840's. It's a tranquil
scene now.Sailors might even
stop and eh
But for those sailors 150 years
ago, such tranquility would not be
found on the voyage to Canada
From England. And the food „ .
For the lowly seaman, the food
_was downright bad, if not
uneatable. On paper, his weekly
menu may not look - too nasty .
There was salted pork and beef,
peas, oatmeal butter, cheese ,
sugar, Biscuits and a -few other
items. Not a diet fit for a Royaf
Navy officer, but for a ship's mate
it would do, providing he was
blessed with a cast-iron stomach.
For those not so equippped,
meals on a British ship were a
nightmire. Take the biscuits,
'they were round, thick and
well-browned (cooked at the royal
bakeries at the rate of 70 a
minute), and were usually made
of mixed wheat and pea - flour.
But more often than not they were
thrown overt board, since the
center became infested with
weevils. •
The meat was not known to the
sailors as meat. They preferred to
call it "junk", or "old condemned
hemp rope,". It wasn't in bad
condition when it was cut-up and•
stored in casks, but it was after
having been nestled away in
mysterious cellars' for several*
years. The navy had a rule:. "The
old meat should be eaten first ."
The fact the old meat nay have
been two-years old was
unimportant, the rule had to be
followed.
• The meat was hard, shrunken,
dark, gristly, and it gli stened
with salt crystals. Strange tales
were told about it. Seamen spoke
of horteshoes found in the meat
casks, and of curious barkings
and neighings in the slaughter-
house.
The salt pork was unusually*
better than the beef, but even
then sailors could carve the meat
into boxe s and little trinkets:
Only about three-tenths of their
weekly six-pound ration
edible. Sometimes the fat was put .
to better use as a lubricant on the
ship's riging, •.,
• Liquids were not as repulsive
though. ' Beer was usually
provided, and wine, and 'when
that ran out, - "grog" was the
replacement. Grog was a
concoction' of one part rum and
three parts stagnant, putrid
water. (Few sailors could drink
the ship's water straight.). l'
The officer's plight .was much
different,' however. . They had
roast beef, ham, chicken, duck,
salmon, perch, pheasant, and
even on occasion veal, No
two-year-old por captain,
It makes yo wonder y
mutinies . weren't a daily
occurrence.
