The Royal Navy had most of its greatest triumphs in the decades up
to 1815, but there has been relatively little study of its social
life and shipboard administration, beyond popular myth and
sensational accounts. This volume starts with the formal structure
of naval discipline, with Admiralty instructions and captains'
orderbooks. It then looks at how things really happened, using
diaries, medical journals, petitions, court martial reports and
even the menu book of a semi-literate steward. It reveals many
strong characters and colourful incidents of shipboard life, while
providing material for study.
