Davies D. T., A Brief History of Fighting Ships. Ships of the Line and the Napoleonic sea battles 1[zasłonięte]793-18, 2002 ISBN –078[zasłonięte]988X

This is a book that does pretty much what it says on the cover. The ships are mentioned, sometimes in surprising detail and with the emphasis on first to third rates, along with the seamen's life and living conditions of the period. Major sea battles of the Revolutionary, and Napoleonic wars are also outlined, and comments made on the state of the relevant forces, and contemporary political views. In effect it is a potted history, but excellent as an introduction to the period or for background reference when starting with historical naval fiction.
