Publisher's Synopsis

Man-Of-War Life is a book written by Charles Nordhoff and published in 1895. It is a detailed account of the life of sailors on board a man-of-war ship during the late 19th century. The book covers various aspects of life on board, including daily routines, food, discipline, navigation, and combat. Nordhoff provides a vivid description of the harsh conditions that sailors faced, including cramped living quarters, rough seas, and the constant threat of disease and injury. He also explores the social dynamics of life on board, including the hierarchy of rank, the relationships between officers and sailors, and the camaraderie that developed among crew members. The book includes numerous illustrations and diagrams that help to bring the world of the man-of-war ship to life. Overall, Man-Of-War Life is a fascinating and informative look at a bygone era of naval history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
