In 1740, British Admiral Vernon (whose nickname was ‘Old Grogram’ for the cloak of grogram which he wore) ordered that the sailors’ daily ration of rum be diluted with water.
He was well known for wearing ‘ grogram ’ a course silk fabric which he apparently had made into a boat cloak and perhaps trousers.
I give my daughter Sarah 12 yards of black grogram to make her a gown.
This move was ordered by Admiral Vernon, who was famous for his grogram cloak - hence the term ‘grog’ for the rum and water mixture, and the consequent sensation of grogginess.
His nickname of ‘Old Grog’ came from his habit of wearing grogram breeches (grogram was a strong, coarse material made of silk and mohair).
