Default Nautical terminology-where to go?

Hi

I'm starting to read Master and Commander (I didn't see the movie) by
Patrick O'Brian. In the beginning it's quite dense with nautical
terms, description of the different parts of the ship, etc. Is there a
website that helps explain some of these terms? I was actually
thinking of the types of book I read when I was younger--big picture
books that would sortof dissect the ship and explain all the various
parts/areas. I was hoping there was an online version of this type of
thing that I could refer to while reading. It's fascinating stuff,
even if I don't understand half of it.

Thanks!

Jim
