THE LIMEJUICE SHIP
Captain Robinson in his article on Shanties ^ gives a version with the tune almost identical with this, but his one verse runs:
When you get to Baltimore, Give my love to Susanna, my dear.
After these examples of Sailor John's shore activities, our next
shanty tells of his food and drink while at sea. It was a forebitter really, but was often used at pumps and sometimes at the capstan. The Merchant Shipping Act came out in the year 1894, and in it
was laid down the amount of food, water, etc., Sailor John was allowed when on shipboard. This doling out of rations was known to John as 'Pound and Pint'. The Act also covered fines and punish- ments for delinquent mariners, such as 'For concealing Knuckle- dusters, Slung-shot, Sword-stick, etc. y. for each day of conceal- ment', and many commandments and regulations in similar strain. But the item around which this sarcastic song was built was also the origin of the Yanks calling English sailors 'Limejuicers'. This was the daily issuing of limejuice to British crews when they had been a certain number of days at sea. My version of this song is partly that of my father and partly that
of a shipmate, Arthur Spencer. The tune is also to be heard in Nova Scotia, the song being one about 'Sauerkraut and bully' sung in the Lunenburg dialect.
