  4. New book alert!

    I grabbed this mainly for the notes on cannons, but HOOBOY is there a lot to read here. Keep your eyes out for some fresh posts on naval gunnery and sundry as I work thru this beast.

  5. @kottke Thanks for the link! I am a big fan of Patrick O'Brians series of British Naval novels of the Napoleonic era with Jack Aubry and Stephen Maturin — one long continuous story. The first three, a trilogy of sorts, are:

    Master and Commander
    Post Captain
    HMS Surprise
