Oh wow, this is cool, I would totally read these!!

Wynne's journeys aboard her husband's warship as a young and, for some time, pregnant wife may sound odd today. But many British navy ships carried the wives or mistresses of tradesmen, and even the captains' wives.

Yes, actually, if you read Jane Austen's Persuasion there's quite about about this.
