The National Archives

Post by 80 Winters on Fri 13 Apr 2012, 16:08

For those of you who find the enjoyment of HNF in the AOS extends beyond the novels and into the real world background these novels are based upon, there are a multitude of reference books, companion books and online information sources. This is one that I've found includes source documents not available elsewhere (as well as a few that are and have been mentioned by other members of this forum). It's a single point source for a wealth of AOS information.

Royal Navy Records

1. Royal Navy Officer Service Records, 1756 - 1917
2. Wills of Royal Navy Seamen, 1786 - 1882
3. French Muster Roll from the Battle of Trafalgar
4. Logs and Journals of Royal Navy Ships on Exploration, 1757 - 1861
5. Trafalgar online exhibition
6. Currency converter (then conpared to now).
7. The National Maritime Museum
8. The Royal Naval Museum
