Anyone interested in the British Navy of the 18th and 19th century should read the Patrick O'Brien series which begins with Master and Commander. I'm on my third time through, this time in audio form.

I am making my way through them for the first time, and am currently reading book 5, "Desolation Island." They are superb. I don't think I have ever read better prose. Ever.
