On my 4th circumnavigation...
Finished MASTER AND COMMANDER; this time bookmarked every paragraph with direct allusions to Lord Thomas Cochrane's life 😆.

@killick
Thank you very much for this recommendation.It is on my kindle wishlist.
I would like to recommend these three books by D. Andrew McChesney to you. The story is set at the same time as the Aubreyad. If you like naval fiction with a pinch of science fiction I am pretty sure you will enjoy them.

Thomas Cochrane was several times shipmates with a Mr. Garrod who was an assistant astronomer at Greenwich Observatory .....
Did Patrick O'Brian know about this? Is this the source for Jack Aubrey's keen interest in astronomy?🤔

"....they're (the Spanish) all scared of him. You want to see a dago piss in his breeches? Just mention Cochrane. They think he's got horns and a tail."
