Default Master and Commander --the movie

FWIW: I found lots of references to Patrick O'Brian by Googling on his name.

"Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long
and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival."
- Winston [Leonard Spencer] Churchill (1874 - 1965)

Dost thou not know, my son, with how little wisdom the world is governed?
-Count Oxenstierna (ca 1620) to the young King Gustavus Adolphus

| There are several. "A Sea of Words: A lexicon and companion for Patrick
| O'Brian's Seafaring tales," by Dean King; "Harbors and High Seas: An atlas

| also by Dean King. There was also a cookbook that reproduced every blessed
| and disgusting thing mentioned about shipboard cuisine in the books but I

"Men-of-War:
| Life in Nelson's Navy."
