It was a nice change to start from the perspective of a pressed seaman and then a 'tarpaulin' officer. Putting the first chapter of the next book at the end certainly whet's your appetite for what is to come.

In the second book I was confused by a description of the frigate Artemis. "Turning to them, the Captain roared, 'Lay aft, you men." He stood abaft the wheel: with no poop in a 'frigate the spar deck swept unbroken from the beakhead forward in a sweet curve right aft to the taffrail."
