Celebrating the Jubilee on Board a Man of War - Extra Ration
Engraving showing the distribution of grog (watered down rum) on board HMS Sultan to celebrate the Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. As can be seen, several non-commissioned officers (and perhaps the purser) are keeping an eye on proceedings to ensure the proper allocation. Grog was so called as it was first issued under the order of Admiral Edward Vernon, whose nickname was old Grogram after the material his cape was made of. Prior to this the Royal Navy issued straight rum to its seamen and Admiral Vernon was motivated by a desire to cut down on drunken accidents

EDITORS COMMENTS
Celebrating the Jubilee in High Seas: A Tradition of Discipline and Reward in the Royal Navy This engraving, titled "Celebrating the Jubilee on Board a Man of War - Extra Ration," captures a significant moment in the history of the Royal Navy. The image depicts the distribution of grog, or watered-down rum, on board HMS Sultan in 1887, during the Jubilee celebration of Queen Victoria. The scene showcases several non-commissioned officers, and perhaps the purser, overseeing the process to ensure a fair allocation. The tradition of issuing grog to the seamen originated under the order of Admiral Edward Vernon in the late 17th century. Vernon, whose nickname was 'old Grog' after the material his cape was made of, introduced the practice as a means to cut down on drunken accidents. Prior to this, the Royal Navy issued straight rum to its sailors. In this historical image, the officers keep a watchful eye on the proceedings, ensuring the proper allocation of the extra ration. The importance of discipline and order is evident, as the men are shown lining up in a neat and orderly fashion, waiting their turn to receive their share. The Jubilee celebration provided a rare moment of relaxation and reward for the hardworking seamen, who would continue their duties once the festivities were over. The image is a testament to the rich history of the Royal Navy and its traditions, which have endured for centuries. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving, produced by ILN, further enhances the historical significance of the scene. This moment in time, frozen in an intricately detailed image, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Royal Navy during the late 19th century.
