U.S. Coast Guard Day and Rum Naval Traditions
August 4 marks the founding of the United States Coast Guard in 1790, a date that connects to a broader history of maritime law enforcement and naval drinking traditions. Rum has a deep association with naval history across multiple countries. The British Royal Navy issued a daily rum ration to sailors from the seventeenth century until Black Tot Day in 1970. American naval tradition also had a complex relationship with alcohol, with periods of prohibition on naval vessels alternating with licensed alcohol service in officer messes. The rum trade, naval power, and Caribbean sugar plantations shaped global alcohol history more than almost any other single set of interconnected industries during the colonial period.
