"Master And Commander" with Russel Crowe is considered one of the best, most accurate depictions of what life was like on a Napoleonic Era sailing ship. It's a great movie.
A ton of work and attention went into that film to keep it historically accurate, even down to assigning all the extras to watches and figuring out what the watch rotation would be and who would be on duty at any given time.
"Rum, sodomy, and the lash..."
Or, as we call it, Hollywood!
Definitely one of my favorite albums of all time: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nqo2SNJP3rvX6HhtfIJ-YYTaRRJAni5C4&playnext=1&index=1#bottom-sheet
