What was the rum ration?
Wow! That's a long time! How much rum were they given per day?
That's a good question! Originally, the ration was a gallon of beer per sailor per day, but it was changed to a half pint of rum in 1655. The amount of rum given out varied over time, but at its peak, it was a half pint of 95 proof rum per day.
