I did get a little lost in the terminology concerning the ship. It is a new language to me: the parts of the ship, ship etiquette, and roles of the people on the ship. Grann does explain the etiquette and the roles of the people a bit, but I became lost sometimes.
Still an interesting story! This book may be more for someone who is into naval/military stories.
I am glad I gave this book a go though! I would be interested in watching a documentary about the Wager!
