If you want to know the history of women at sea in both Britain's navies over the last 250 years, then my book, Seafaring Women Through History, may be what you need.
My favourite thing about it? The micro-biographies set as panels, so that you can skip-read easily.
The thing that most surprised me? That although women pioneers in some other countries are blazing through, UK women aren't making the progress I optimistically expected, ten years ago.
History Press published the book in February 2026 . It's the much revised edition of From Cabin "Boys" to Captains: 250 years of women at sea (2016).
You can get it from all the usual outlets. If you'd like to help a maritime charity, order it from https://www.marinesocietyshop.org/seafaring-women-through-history_9781837050734.
