What are some good nautical novels? I've already read loads of Patrick O'Brian stories and Treasure Island. It doesn't even have to be realistic, I just want to spend more times in tall ships.

Try the Hornblower series books.

If you haven't yet read the Hornblower books, they're great.

It's fantasy, but I really liked Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders, and of course, the sailing parts of Earthsea.
Also, of course, there is Gulliver, and I love Miyazaki, though they're more airship, and not strictly /lit/

I love this use of language. And it's true isn't it? Books take us somewhere else. What a joy!
