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 |
