San Francisco Sailing.

Nautical Trivia:

On ships of old, if your nose could stand it, you could get a slushy slurry of fat after a long voyage by boiling or scraping the empty salted meat storage barrels.

This stuff called "slush" was often sold ashore by the ship's cook for the benefit of himself or the crew. The money from the sale became known as a slush fund.
