Club Talk "Rum, Sodomy & the Lash"

19th February 2026, 18:30 - 21:00

Join Martin Thomas on February 19th for the talk "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash"

This is an illustrated account of naval medicine and naval traditions in the age of sail. Be appalled at the harsh discipline, the cat 'o nine tails, the Press Gang. Hear about the mystery of scurvy, the ravages of yellow fever and typhus. Learn of amputation by oil lamp aboard a rolling ship at sea. Hear of Nelson's death on the Victory in the hour of victory. Be glad you live now

The talk will begin at 19.00, please arrive between 18.30 18:45 to buy a drink and socialise.
