I'm reading the Aubrey-Maturin books and found this sail diagram quite helpful: https://www.reddit.com/r/AubreyMaturinSeries/comments/j3vn05/as_a_total_lubber_i

  I’m on book three and this is incredibly useful. The level of detail in the books is insane. I also reallllly liked the Russell Crowe movie, and wish they had made more. It wasn’t perfect, but it was fun as hell, and the napoleonic wars provide so much material for sequels.

  For reading this 21 book series it's worth investing into one more book with background information. I can recommend Patrick O'Brian's Navy: The Illustrated Companion to Jack Aubrey's World (Hardcover) Lots of valuable information, lots of illustrations and schematics and photos. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/24519 https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/24519

    Also recommend A Sea of Words, which is a lexicon of the nautical terminology from the books.
