    A very entertaining and informative read Vol.

    Rob.
    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    It looks like there are several more nautical related stories on that site I will have to check out.

    Another great link to a very unusual story, thank you for posting. I cannot imagine what it would have been like for that girl in a ship full of rough sailors for so long at sea. She must have had a lot of courage and an inquisitive mind for sure. I also noted that Phillip K Allen is an author so I might check out some of his book on my Kindle.
