Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash - A Devon Lad's Life in Nelson's Navy is a book by Anthony Blackmore. It is a fictionalised account of the true story of Samuel Blackmore, a lower deck sailor in Nelson's Navy from 1793 to 1802. A reviewer for the South West Maritime History Society described the book as "a well-written volume placing Samuel Blackmore in the midst of the actions surrounding him from official logs, letters, etc."
