I don't even know why i posted that.
I was dreaming of times long ago, 1867.
The Merchant shipping Act of 1867 required a daily lime ration to the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy to prevent scurvy.
The same year the inventors of Rose's Lime Juice found a way to preserve the limes without using alcohol.
Hence the term "limeys" for British sailors.
