I should not put out to sea in that boat, M'Lord. It could not handle the waves. :)
We can have another bite at the shipping forecast Dave.

I was just at a whisky and rum expo in Linköping. There I drank a rum called Gunroom. It was made according to old British regulations. It had the old spices used to hide the taste of badly made alcohol and was strong. Old regulations. Way too strong. I also tasted a whisky called Red Ensign. I probably could google images for them but as that’s not all I drank, erh, tasted. I might do so tomorrow. Later tomorrow.
Apparently I wasn't too drunk to google it after all...
Here is our equivalent Jonas.

Gunroom is made to match the older rum versions of the British Navy, 17th-early 18th century style. Just without the badly made alcohol containing fusel (rotgut).
This was the blended whisky:
“Navy strength” is a relatively new term. It was coined by the branding consultant John Murphy on behalf of Plymouth Gin in 1993 for something very old — what used to be called 100º UK proof spirit. It refers to a spirit that is bottled at exactly 57% alcohol by volume.
Pusser's Black Label rum is arguably as close as you can get to drinking what the Royal Navy once drank. This "Gunpowder Proof" rum clocks in at 109 proof (a little over 54-percent alcohol by volume) which is just shy of the 57-percent figure usually used to describe Navy-strength.
This elegant, extremely hard to find rum comes from the last remaining kegs of Royal Navy rum. That's right: the same stuff the sailors drank. It's chocolately, oaky, anisey—just incredible. A bottle costs as much as a car, but it comes with a free ration cup! [$1,000]

We have seen many Newby Wyke ship beers before but I do not remember this one.
Not sure about this Trawler Banquo either but I can't remember it.

A golden ale remembering the alleged Hull "spy trawler" Lord Ancaster, spotted by the Soviet Northern Fleet in Dec 1952 off Cape Terebersky near Soviet submarines.

We have seen the standard Black Squall before but not that Extra version.
Here is a weather phenomenon.
Bear Island (Norwegian: Bjørnøya, pronounced [ˈbjøːɳøyɑ]) is the southernmost island of the Norwegian Svalbard archipelago. The island is located in the western part of the Barents Sea, approximately halfway between Spitsbergen and the North Cape.
Bear Island was discovered by the Dutch explorers Willem Barents and Jacob van Heemskerk on 10 June 1596. It was named after a polar bear that was seen swimming nearby. The island was considered terra nullius until the Spitsbergen Treaty of 1920 placed it under Norwegian sovereignty.
Despite its remote location and barren nature, the island has seen commercial activities in past centuries, such as coal mining, fishing and whaling. However, no settlements have lasted more than a few years, and Bear Island is now uninhabited except for personnel working at the island's meteorological station Herwighamna. Along with the adjacent waters, it was declared a nature reserve in 2002.

Bear Island used to have a label showing a U-Boot as in the Alastair McLean story. Here is something much newer.
