I’m doing research for a writing project, and struggling a little to find resources on this topic that aren’t very brief internet summaries, fictional, memoires, or out of print hardbacks well out of my price range.
I’m looking for something specifically that will help me understand any of the following topics:
– Day to day life aboard ships of any kind in this time period
– The actual mechanics of sailing and what kinds of jobs people did aboard ships
– Nautical jargon

The Wager by David Grann is primarily about a shipwreck but the first few chapters paint a very bleak picture of the average sailor experience. Very good book
