I was Bosun on the Eden 1956-1957 had some good runs ashore in various places in the Caribbean,we mostly brought sugar and rum back to the UK.
Few days ago I was singing the jingles from the Radio Commercial for Morgans rum.
Morgan Morgan Morgan galore lets have some fun lets have some more.
Another commercial The more we drink Special Umber Special Umber Special Umber
the more we drink Special Umber the merrier we will be.
Any one know what Special Umber was?.

Nobody drank Captain Morgans That was for theYanks who didn't know any better. The least you drank was Wray and nephew one dagger
and that only when your sub was running out.

when i was there on the MV Tuscany and later MV Salinas, psnc we allways drank Appleton Estate Rum by Wray and Nephew, then there was the Overproof Rum, that was cheaper,a bottle of Appletons was 7 shillings for a pint, you could buy quart bottles also, was in Trinidad about 8 years ago they sold a rum there called Punching Rum, a white rum, that was potent.!
