sea biscuit
Sailor's lasting bread
Sea biscuit is a hard, dry cracker or bread made for long voyages, designed to resist spoilage and mold.
Also called hardtack or ship's biscuit, it was a staple aboard sailing ships for centuries: The sailors soaked their sea biscuits in coffee to make them edible.
The name survives mainly in historical contexts.
