GUEST,doc.tom Meaning: Long Tail Blue in sea songs? (23) RE: Meaning: Long Tail Blue in sea songs? 20 Jun 07


After uniform was finally introduced into the British fleet just before Nelson's day, it gradually developed into different forms of uniform (e.g. No.1s - etc.) The long-tailed blue was the dress uniform for official or for 'dress' occasions and definitely for on-shore activity to impress the girls!
