Jack Tar: The Men Who Made Nelson's Navy

The Royal Navy depended on thousands of sailors and marines to man the wooden warships. Their contribution is often overlooked. Jack Tar gives these men a voice in an exciting, and often unexpected picture of what their life was like during this age of sail.Through personal letters, diaries and other manuscripts, the emotions and experiences of these people are explored, from the dread of press-gangs, shipwreck and disease, to the exhilaration of battle, grog, prize money, and prostitutes.
