Originally published in 1949, Portsmouth Point is a captivating look into the British naval experience during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Parkinson, a naval historian, uses excerpts from the writings of real Age of Sail officers, midshipmen, and crew to create a semi-fictitious collection of naval stories covering all aspects of life aboard England's "wooden walls."
