I read this book ages ago and it's crammed full of fascinating facts about life at Nelson's time. Dudley Pope had a yacht berthed in the West Indies and was a prolific writer both historical and maritime novels.
It's not just about life aboard the galleons but also life ashore. For example he discusses the press gangs and all the details of how a ship was supplied, also life in general ashore, what they did for entertainment etc.
I have bought two copies, one as a gift and one for me to enjoy again.
Thoroughly recommended
