Book Review of The Black Ship (Heart of Oak Sea Classics Series)

The Black Ship (Heart of Oak Sea Classics Series)
reviewed on + 13 more book reviews


A nautical classic, this non-fiction account is a fascinating look into the Royal Navy and it's various mutinies, particularly of course the Hermoine mutiny. Although it's a researched, factual retelling of events, it's presented in a very entertaining manner, which makes it read almost more like a novel than like a history book. Well worth the read if you're a fan of the Age of Sail.
