Collingwood Discipline — Grog-Watering

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. A sailing fleet. Not a likeness and not a punishment plate.

Overview

The habit is already on Collingwood Cuthbert — Biography. He preferred grog-watering and stern looks to flogging; the seaman Robert Hay said “a look of displeasure from him was as bad as a dozen at the gangway from another man.”¹

The Habit

This note covers that discipline habit only. A Hay life, a flogging scale, and a grog recipe stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE.

Hay’s wording stays cited from the Collingwood note. Do not invent a Hay life from that sentence. Acorn Planting Tradition — Collingwood Oaks already used the acorn sentence on the same Personal Life paragraph. Yellow Punishment Coat — Greenwich Hospital is Hardy’s later Greenwich reform, not this habit.²
