Audio books: "Great Sea Battles"

Famous Sea Fights, I got the name wrong.
This is read by several people, and is about the Sea Battles before the Steamers came along.
It gives you a great look at what it was like to maneuver a Sailing ship with short range cannon.

I got it from <livroboc.org>

 

I wish I could remember the name of the book I read some 50 years ago which gave detailed maneuvers of ships in battles of American and British ships before 1814. Thanks for the info.

 

I think it is http://librivox.org/famous-sea-fights-by-john-r-hale/

 

Yes that's the book.
Somehow I'd rather read at my own imaginations speed, but bad eyes make the Audio-Books a necessity.

All these books are 'in the public domain' which means the Copy write is long past.
The Verbiage is very old as well.

I recall in the 5th Grade the Teacher wanted me to read some Shakespeare to the class.
I started. But soon I said to her, something kinda cruel about that old language.
I was excused from that task.

To this day I don't like that old language, and won't listen to most of their books.
But I do appreciate having them available though.
