Men-Of-War: Life in Nelson's Navy
This book is a companion to Patrick O'Brian's sea novels, a straightforward exploration of what daily life in Nelson's navy was really like, for everyone from the captain down to the rawest recruit. What did they eat? What songs did they sing? What was the schedule of watches? How were the officers and crew paid, and what was the division of prize-money?

Book Details

First Sentence

"As we have just seen, the notion of decline has, on the biological plane, a straightfoward meaning; the organism declines when its chances of continuing to live are reduced."
