Book excerpt: 18th and 19th CENTURY ENGLISH WOMEN AT SEA is a lively and entertaining account of the three types of women one would normally find, legally, or illegally, on board a ship during the 18th and early 19th Centuries. 1. Prostitutes. 2. Officer's and midshipmen's wives plus other female passengers during wartime. 3. Women masquerading as sailors or crewmen. This book cover all of them, and also provides colorful but factual accounts of surprising and certainly, little-known, incidents drawn from letters written by sailors and other men at sea, diaries of such famous figures as Admiral Horatio Nelson, as well as autobiographies written in the late 1700s by women, such as Mary Lacy who took to the sea masquerading as men and lived to tell of their experiences. Noted historians who have published works on the same subject are quoted and referenced.
