Water instead of fat was used to blend the dry ingredients to keep the biscuits fresh on long voyages. Carr’s cabin biscuits with their delicate, crisp texture proved extremely popular with seafarers. Established 1908 Word soon spread to every port and inevitably, in 1908, these biscuits were made available to landlubbers too in the form of Carr’s Table Water.
