One I was really impressed with was Sacred Hunger by Barry Unsworth. It is set on a slave ship. Was a joint winner of the Booker when first published.
That does sound interesting. Thanks, jenmcd.

If your opposed to fantasy the Liveship trader trilogie by Robin Hodd is excellent.Mostly seafaring stories,very well written.Pirates,a familly of traders,sea snakes,..
No, I not the least bit opposed to fantasy. I looked it up on Amazon and it looks like a fun read. In fact, it looks so good that I just order the first book in a hardcover edition. Thanks.
Beware Robert,those are highly addictive.It is part of a series of 9 books(3liveship),but been use to O'brian and Forester this should not be a probleme.
Hope you enjoy it.
You are going to be very busy Robert.
Another vote for Sacred Hunger by Unsworth. Also The Middle Passage by Charles Johnson, Voyage of the Narwahl by Andrea Barrett, The Terror by Dan Simmons, and twelve big thumbs up for English Passengers by Matthew Kneale, one of the best books I've ever read.
Oh, and Batavia's Graveyard by -- I forget.
