Why read it?
1 author picked Nelson's Navy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book holds a special place in my bookshelves. Reprinted many times it is a classic reference to the period. Lavery’s description of life at sea is unparalleled, depicting a world far removed from the hardships and cruelty that is often attributed to conditions on the lower deck.
From Julian's list on understanding the Age of Sail.
