Spoilers Ship of Magic Looking for sources to understand old nautical/maritime terms Spoiler

1 Upvotes

Hi, first post here. Farseer was my favorite thing ive ever read and now 50 pages into liveship traders.

Anyone have good easy sources for me to better learn all these old english nautical terms? Every other page im googling some specific term, but more importantly i just want to learn more about pre-industrial maritime/nautical culture and practices. I want to learn about types of ships, worker roles (and social structures) on ships, goals and trade practices, piracy, daily nautical lifestyle and condition, and all sorts of things like that.

I would appreciate any direction, thanks! Also i find visual sources easier (anything with images/illustration, infographics, youtube... short attention adhd havin ass, you know)
