Another fascinating GOOGLE BOOK I accidentally ran across entitled: "LIFE ON BOARD A MAN -O-WAR" plus a full account of the Battle of Navorino. Set in 1820's, the read so far has been pretty good. Authored by a "British Sailor", it tells his account of steaming into Liverpool and seeking employment aboard a Naval Vessel and the trials that ensue. The author is very descriptive, and footnotes are added for the 'jargon' of the day. Just started it, but seems to be a winner!:thumbsup:
