In the annals of naval history, few traditions are as storied or as universally recognized as the daily rum ration of the British Royal Navy. This time-honored practice, which spanned over two centuries, came to an end on a day now known as Black Tot Day. This day is not just a date in the calendar; it’s a symbol of a bygone era, a nod to the naval traditions of the past, and a celebration of the spirit of camaraderie that defined life on the high seas.
