Sometimes I forget that I work a 3 minute walk from a 6 story library with 1.4 million books that will loan them to me for 3 months. No need to mail me the book now DD, I can read this copy and don't have to return it till December 8th.

Glad to hear, I hope the struggle with the USPS was worth it.

They sure are (the bottom two), I actually started reading the one in the middle by Harold Hahn. The first half of the book is strictly history and much of that in the form of letters to and from the British Admiralty. It is interesting to see how and why a spirit of independence grew in the colonies and that there was actually hostile actions against British ships as early as 1764 (if not earlier).

If you really want a feel for life on sailing ships in the Royal Navy (and many other navies, I'm sure), the Master and Commander series of books are excellent. "Master and Commander" and "Far Side of the World" were turned into the pretty good movie with Russell Crow. But the books really describe fitting out a ship for a cruise, the sounds and smells. Really informative and entertaining.
