I get what you mean, Age of Sail is such a fascinating era yet it does seem to be such a niche interest, I love Nelson’s Navy in particular. I rec the show Turn if you have access to Prime, that’s a great show. I’d also rec the Kydd novels by Julian Stockwin, those are great too and seem to be relatively unheard of even among people who like Age of Sail stuff.
We're like-minded; thanks sm for the recs, happily I've watched/read a little of both! I'll have to pick up the Kydd series again now that you've recommended it. :D In return (if I may), I'd recommend The Wooden World by N.A.M. Rodger if you don't already own it- it's nonfiction but makes a great table guide for looking up any big or small detail about life within the Royal Navy at that time. I adore it and have found it infinitely useful! c: <3
