Alexandra Brown asked this question about Master and Commander (Aubrey & Maturin, #1):
Can anyone direct me to a 'glossary of naval terms' to help me get through this book and other written by Patrick O'Brian? I want to read all 22 but have been put off by the storm of words foreign to me in the story.
