First published in 1998, this volume explores the Royal Navy which
had most of its greatest triumphs in the decades up to 1815, but
has received 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.
