I need information on the British Navy from the 1700s. Have any of you written papers to that effect? Has someone you know written a paper on the British Navy?




She needs sources to flesh out discussion about any aspects of the British Navy circa 1700.









Your help is appreciated, and there's a bonus prize for really great material.

If you're interested in the late 1700's, then I'd recommend you check out "A Sea of Words" by Dean King et. al. You can often find it in a bookstore's fiction section next to the novels of Patrick O'Brian, which I highly recommend.
