Good books on maritime history?

Thanks for the list, Chris, I am also a Nelson fan . Haven't read some of those titles, so Powell's Books here I come.

Have you read any of the Hornblower series by CS Forester? Some very good books about Brit Navy during Nelson's time and just after.

When I get home, I'll add a few titles I have regarding actual wrecks, just that the titles aren't coming to mind. Need more coffee and sleep.

i only ever watched a few shows of hornblower on the tv, never the books tho, ive read seaflower tho a pretty good book based around those as well i think its the second book in the series of a few really captures the image of jolly old jack tar. Have you ever gone to check out H.M.S victory in Portsmouth? it kinda makes your heart glow when you see that wonderful ship.
