Moby Dick

Sailing Alone Around the World

White Jacket, it has no real plot and it's basically like the cetology chapters of Moby Dick only with Man o' War facts instead of whale facts

This +
Forester - Hornblower
Gore Vidal - Williwaw
B. Traven - The Death Ship

Pictured is one of my favorite books in all of American literature. Dana also wrote a great book on 19th c. Cuba, and a long essay on Two Years 25 Years Later about his visit to already built-up San Francisco via the newly laid TransContinental railroad.
Alexander Kent's long Bolitho series vies with Forester's and O'Brian's.

Southey's Life of Nelson is interesting (Coleridge and Wordsworth's buddy, but the object of ridicule in Lord Byron's Vision) as is the more modern bio by John Sugden.
Sabatini wrote a few- Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk.

O'Brian was a hack. Lied about his name, lied about his ww2 times, never sailed a ship before writing his novels. He's halfway entertaining.

Conrad is master compared to him. Typhoon, Nigger of the Narcisus.
