A good recording of a lecture by Sam Willis about the British navy around the time of the Napoleonic wars.

If the above link doesn't work, check out the 9 August 2012 episode on the page: http://www.historyextra.com/podcasts

Neat find! It's amazing how much good-quality historical material like this is entering the public domain. Youtube, for example, has a number of really interesting naval history lectures.
