I have 2 main characters that I love to death, I've dissected them to no end but I ran into a little snag with one of them.
My main man, has been crammed with war strategy from a young age, and comes from a place that relies heavily on the sea and ships.
I know that it's wise to write some of your own experiences and knowledge into your work, and I'm using that the best I can. (Lived on the shore for several years) but I don't know the parts of a 17th century ship very well nor do I know much strategy. Does anyone know of any books, sites or even tidbits of information that could help me? I want to make sure that whatever battle plans that come out of his mouth or actions he takes on a ship is completely plausible.

If I'm quiet then we're not talking about writing...or I could have lost my marbles.
