The Frigate Surprise
There is no more famous a vessel in naval fiction than HMS Surprise, the principal ship in Patrick O'Brian's "Aubrey-Maturin" series of sea stories. Yet, the frigate also had a true historical career serving in both the French and British navies. This volume reveals the complete career history and commentary of HMS Surprise in both its guises.
