An Underhand Invention is a series by Andrew Wareham is about the naval life of Gilbert Maltravers.

Lieutenant Gilbert Maltravers is bored. It is 1912 and he has been promoted as fast as any in his Dartmouth class and is placed in a battleship where he can confidently look forward to promotion to post captain and a battleship of his own by the time he is forty. All he needs to do is keep a smart ship, polish the brass and salute every senior officer, while wearing an expensive uniform that testifies he is one of the right sort. His father is an admiral, so very little can go wrong.

He wants more than tedium from his existence, and the new submarine service will provide excitement… but possibly a far shorter life. If he is successful, then submarines will provide earlier promotion and a new challenge every day. Failure in the submarine service will mean the end of his career.

Against the protests of his father and the head-shaking of his friends, Gilbert goes off to join the deplorably new and ungentlemanly assassins of the sea, the enemies of all the old Navy stands for.

The Bolitho series features 2 principal characters, Richard Bolitho and his Nephew Adam

Richard Bolitho was born in 1756 in Falmouth, Cornwall, the second son of a prestigious naval family. He joined the navy in 1768 and was known for his tactical ingenuity, daring, and disregard of both convention and political expediency. He rose to high rank—despite the opposition of less competent men—because of his ability to win crucial victories against seemingly impossible odds. Among the men of the fleet, Bolitho was known as a demanding but scrupulously fair and humane captain and was known as, though never to his face, as "Equality Dick." His reputation for decency in a brutal world created a fierce sense of loyalty among those who had served under him.

His most lasting relationships were with Thomas Herrick—a fellow officer and his oldest friend—and John Allday, a former Cornish shepherd who became Bolitho's coxswain and de facto bodyguard.

Career : Joined the Royal Navy 1768. Midshipman Manxman,  Midshipman Gorgon, Midshipman Avenger, Lieutenant Destiny, Lieutenant Trojan, Commander Sparrow, Captain Phalarope, Captain Undine, Captain Tempest, Captain Nore cutter squadron, Captain Hyperion, Flag Captain Euryalus, Commodore Mediterranean, Rear-Admiral Baltic, Vice-Admiral West Indies, Mediterranean, Caribbean, South Africa, Copenhagen, Admiral America, Canada, Mediterranean

Adam Bolitho, the only son of Richard's disgraced older brother Hugh, was born in 1780 in Penzance, Cornwall, shortly after his father joined the revolution in America. Having been sent to Richard at the age of 14 by his dying mother. Christened as Adam Pascoe, he changes his name to Adam Bolitho when he becomes Richard's heir. Spending much of his early career as one of Thomas Herrick's officers, he rises through the ranks to establish himself as a daring and resourceful frigate captain, as his uncle had once done.

Buccaneers is a series by Andrew Wareham is about the nautical life of Jemmy Dawes.

Jemmy Dawes was set in his ways in his mid-twenties, looking after his crippled mother, working hard and with no other interests. Then his mother died and the rental of the little house went with her and he was left alone in the streets of Charles I’s Southampton.

The Bench wanted no vagabonds and sent him off to sea, out of the way. Within months he had fought Dunkirk pirates aboard a sloop and had been set aboard a larger ship bound for the Caribbean where he discovered that whatever peace reigned between the countries of Europe, there was always unacknowledged warfare in the West Indies.

Set ashore to help create and man the defences of Barbados, Jemmy soon found himself roving in small craft, hunting for Spaniards or French or Dutch or Danes, all of whom were preying on the English and each other.

National ships, privateers, outright pirates, all fought in the tangled waters of the Caribbean.

Fictional Character:- 

"Bowman West grew up in a lighthouse on the Scottish coast and joined the Royal Navy in search of adventure in distant lands. He eventually rose to the rank of captain, commanding the frigate Sea Unicorn in the Mediterranean. During this mission, West discovered a planned invasion attempt which the English press later took to calling "the new Spanish Armada." West foiled the plot by burning the troop ships which were being assembled on the Andalusian coast; but in so doing, he suffered a nearly fatal wound. He returned home and was made a Knight of the Bath. Following his recovery, West yearned to return to the ocean, but this time as an explorer rather than a warrior. An old friend at the Admiralty gave him command of a new ship, the Promise, and West set sail for the South China Sea.

West's personality is inspired by that of Robert Louis Stevenson, an author who was as adventurous in spirit as any of the characters he created. Bowman West is intrepid, curious, and somewhat wistful, and he relies upon his wits as well as his courage in facing the perils of his voyages." - Chris Fasolino
