From there I tried the Aubrey/Maturin series. This series quickly became one of my favorites. He delved not only in sea warfare, but into English life and customs.
Finally, while I was laid up from surgery, I bought and read the entire Bolitho series. The sea battles were usually too quick and gore, but the boeken were still very entertaining.
I have created a board game that simulates battle between the French and British ships of the line. I used a picture of “The Battle of the Nile,” one of the biggest and bloodiest sea battles of that period.
The game can be found on a Facebook page “Ajcraft Creations” of Board Game Geek.
