TAR
A Royal or merchant sailor during the time of British Empire
“At all events, of these thousands of mutineers were some of the tars who not so long afterwards—whether wholly prompted thereto by patriotism, or pugnacious instinct, or by both—helped to win a coronet for Nelson at the Nile, and the navel crown of crowns for him at Trafalgar were a plenary absolution and a grand one.“
-Herman Melville
