KAF flagged this: Hardtack, Once a Staple of Sailing Ships, Still Prospers in Hawaii [4]. It has great shelf life, especially when vacuum packed. BTW, I believe that the author is mistaken when describing the “joke” origin of the term “Saloon Pilot” The saloon (or salon) is the social cabin of a ship. And pilot refers to pilot rations–food for use aboard ship.
