I received a Google link to the book reviewed here which promises to be of great interest:

Other books recently published and well worth a read;

'HMS Pickle' - also by Peter Hore. A detailed look at the famous little schooner.

'In Nelson's Wake' by James Davey of the NMM. Theme being that the war at sea did not end with Trafalgar but continued to be hard fought, albeit without any equally large fleet battles, until 1815. James also tackles the little discussed 'shyness' of some of the Trafalgar captains.

Out next week - Peter Goodwin's updated 'HMS Victory Pocket Manual 1805' - a must for all the anoraks!
