Because nothing says Christmas...

...like a Navy Records Society tome of Naval Courts Martial, 1793 - 1815 XD This was one of my Christmas presents from partner and the beautiful silver and glass ship is from the wonderful volgivagant.

Aw. Lovely.

[anteros_lmc]

What, the courts martial or the ship? ;)

[charliecochrane]

The ship, silly. :)

[anteros_lmc]

Me? Silly? No! ;)

[stevie_carroll]

Pretty!

[anteros_lmc]

Bonny isn't she?

I think you will like the Jim Hawkins book. I have it. it mostly deals with non-officer boys, but the hardships and common experience are there.

I have False Colors on my kindle. Like it a lot. (Have read certain parts over and over...)

Ooh have you read The Real Jim Hawkins? I thought it might provide some useful back ground material even though it deals with foremast boys rather than young gentlemen. I'm also quite intrigued by Peitsch's approach, he is the one who recently did a lecture on Masculinity and Mental Health in the Georgian Navy at the NMM.

Oh aye? ;)

Hee-- yes. Very effective writing.

[anteros_lmc]

Effective? Is that what you call it? Hmn? ;)

That sounds like fascinating reading. The perfect gift for an Age of Sail fangirl!

Definitely! It could only have been more perfect if it had been accompanied by a gift wrapped lieutenant ;)

She's gorgeous! I love her :) And she is clearly a very sea worthy, or perhaps post worthy, little ship!
