A Note...
The naval adventure fiction series "Ships of War" by Bradley John cleverly includes a smattering of slang, jargon and nautical terms from the era — perhaps just enough to properly immerse the reader in the period of the time. Each instalment in "Ships of War" includes a Glossary of Terms. For the avid reader, the dictionary is available above.
