As well as the many fiction books that are written about life in Nelson’s navy and the age of sail, there are also many factual books. These give an insight into the equipment and how it was used and into the lives of the officers and seamen. As well as the general ones, some are written as companions to the fiction series and some are written by fiction authors. These may be of interest to naval fiction fans so I am adding them to this index. If you are interested in purchasing any, and direct links are not provided from the book, please visit and search the online stores.
