The Golden Ocean by Patrick O'Brian
A coming-of-age seafaring tale set in the mid-18th century, in which a young apprentice signs on to a British privateering expedition bound for the Caribbean and the chase for Spanish treasure; through cramped, dangerous voyages, storms, disease, bitter combat and the rivalries and friendships of shipboard life, he learns seamanship, courage and a more sober understanding of glory and the harsh realities of naval warfare.
