Trade and Nautical Tradition: The Rise and Fall of Rum

Xinglin Qian

Abstract


For an extended period, limited academics have focused on the depiction of rum culture within Treasure Island. Drawing upon the
historical context of the Age of Navigation, this study identified Rum as a type of beverage of slave, originating from the colonial era. Furthermore, functioning as a symbol of nautical tradition, it fostered a connection between pirates and the Royal Navy, thereby promoting the
maritime dominance of the British Empire.
