Parkinson, uses excerpts from the writings of real officers, midshipman and crew members during the late 18th and early 19th centuries to create a semi-fictitious collection of naval stories. The dialogue, characters, and events within the book are not historical fact, but as Parkinson writes in the preface, a truly good novelist writes boldly the sort of talk there might have been and so creates as compared with the biographer an impression more vivid, and in a sense, more true. Anthology of stories from the British navy during the Napoleonic wars. Chronicles the daily life of a man in the navy during this time, shows the brutal realities of the job, depicts the warfare.
