Hardcover edition
A comprehensive glossary of the distinctive vocabulary developed in the Royal Navy over centuries of maritime service. From wardroom to fo'c'sle, the language of the Senior Service evolved its own terminology—much of it impenetrable to civilians.
The glossary documents naval slang, technical terminology, and the colloquial expressions that characterised lower-deck speech. Entries cover nautical terms, mess traditions, service nicknames, and the vocabulary of daily life aboard ship.
Of interest to naval historians, maritime linguists, and enthusiasts of Royal Navy traditions. The glossary serves as a reference for understanding the language of historical naval accounts and memoirs.
Hardcover binding with archival-quality paper stock. Alphabetically organised for reference use. Built for institutional and private collection durability.
