Perfect companion to the Captain Hornblower series of books.

With the Hornblower time period, I'd point to the video on 18th century ships on the same channel instead. There's a lot of subtle differences, even putting aside the size differences of the ships.

If you like Hornblower, you should read the Aubrey Maturin series.
