Title: Sons of the Waves Author: Stephen Taylor Narrator: Matthew Waterson Format: mp3 Length: 13 hrs and 44 mins Release date: 05-19-20 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 68 ratings Genres: Maritime History & Piracy Publisher's Summary: British maritime history in the age of sail is full of the deeds of officers like Nelson but has given little voice to plain, "illiterate" seamen. Now, Stephen Taylor draws on published and unpublished memoirs, letters, and naval records, including court-martials and petitions, to present these men in their own words. In this exhilarating account, ordinary seamen are far from the hapless sufferers of the press gangs.
