I found this to be an excellent novel of the Battle of St. Vincent 1797... It is well written by a man who owned a 54 foot sailboat that sailed in the Caribbean Sea. There is a description of an Atlantic Gale off of the Straits of Gibraltar that will run chills up your spin, particularly for those who have been out There.... The main character, Nicholas Ramage, is well founded
CS Forester fans of Captain Horatio Hornblower series will enjoy Pope's books.
