by Marilyn Clay (Author)

18th and 19th CENTURY ENGLISH WOMEN AT SEA is a lively and entertaining account of the type of women one would have normally found, legally or illegally, on board ship during this time period, namely-prostitutes; officers and midshipmen's wives and other female passengers, and women masquerading as sailors or crewmen. Colorful but factual accounts of little-known incidents in the book are drawn from letters written by sailors and other men at sea, from diaries of such notable figures as Admiral Horatio Nelson, and from 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.
