Summary:
The popularity of sea-stories set during the Napoleonic Wars bears witness to the great romance associated with the sailing navy at the apogee of its success. Of course, these accounts are fiction and accurate descriptions of either the technicalities of contemporary social conditions are not their main aim, but they whet the appetite for more information.
