‘All for me grog’, ‘Good brown Ale and Tobacco’, ‘The Nobby Hat’, ‘This old hat of mine’ or ‘Across the Western plains/ocean’
 Grog is the affectionate nickname for watered down navy rum. This song was originally sung by sailors but the adapted to Irish folk and as all good sea shanty’s, it’s about which Is a sailor’s vice to get through the long voyage and what they’ll do when they get on shore. Basically, glorifying the life of a drinking, smoking, partying sea farer. ‘Noggin’ has several meanings, but in this context, it refers to a small mug or tankard and But it seems the sailors boots are being sacrificed to drink there grog from. Despite its many draw backs which are sang about in this song are sung with pride, because they are having too much fun and the tough life of a sailor deserves reward. The life of a sailor often means that when you get on shore and you get your pay, most of it is spent celebrating your survival from the harsh conditions, with the lassies of the public houses of the port town you happen to have landed in, drinking expensive gin after months of your rationed grog on deck.  It was collected by George Gardiner in 1906 from a sailor he knew and was then titled 'The Nobby Hat', Then James Madison Carpenter collected the version in 1928 as ' All for the Grog' And became a staple of Irish folk and pub music. In 1961, A L. Lloyd and Alf Edwards recorded the song on an ep under Topic Records. Then my personal favorite, the Irish rovers released it on their 'Drunken sailor' album And my first exposure to the song was a part of the assassins creed black flag sea shanties soundtrack released in 2013. When Britain captured Jamaica in 1655 the navy switched its sailor’s daily ration of French brandy to rum. Vice Admiral Sir Edward Vernon, Fought In the War of Jenkin's Ear on the side of the English against Spain. He was nicknames Old Grog because of an impressive grogram cloak he work in all weather (which was a coarse loosely woven fabric of silk and goat hair). In 1740 half the punishment dished out by the British Navy to their sailors involved drunkenness. 'Old Grog' issued an order that rum would be diluted with water, ½ pint rations, 6 hours apart.

Welcome back to Marine Log’s Listen Up! Podcast, where we dive into some pressing topics shaping the maritime world. Today, we’re exploring a rapidly evolving issue that sits at the intersection of regulation, safety, and technology: the rise of mandatory CCTV on ships.
Joining us is Osher Perry CEO and founder of ShipIn, a provider of AI solutions for the maritime industry. Osher’s here to unpack the potential rabbit hole the industry could be heading toward as countries like India begin mandating CCTV on flagged vessels—and others may soon follow.
But rather than sounding the alarm, Osher sees this as a moment of opportunity. He’ll explain why now is the time for the industry to fully embrace AI-powered shipboard CCTV.
So, is the industry ready to leap forward—or will it settle for surveillance without insight?
