    You're hung on on the Pimpernel, aren't you chick.

    I'd second the Patrick O'Brien series on Aubrey.

    None of them are Horation Hornblower but I enjoyed the Kent series. But not the Aubrey ones.

    There is a recent series from Julian Stockwin about a seaman who rises to officer rank. I enjoyed those.

    I'd invent a time machine simply to go back and snag myself one of the dashing gentlemen in the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel... oh yeah... I'm hung up on it! ;)
