The Black Ship by Dudley Pope
This is the story of the bloodiest mutiny in the history of the Royal Navy ' the butchering of the officers aboard His Majesty's Frigate Hermione, 32 guns, in the West Indies in 1797. The author describes the events which end with the daring re-capture of the Hermione under the guns of Spanish forts, by 100 English sailors in six open boats in one of the most brilliant cutting-out expeditions in naval history.
Dudley Pope is a superb naval historian, and author of the Ramage series of novels which follow the fortunes of Nicolas Ramage, a daredevil commander in the age of fighting sail. Among his many other distinguished books on maritime history are Life in Nelson's Navy, 73 North, The Battle of the Barents Sea, The Buccaneer: A Life of Sir Henry Morgan, The Battle of the River Plate and At 12 Mr Byng Was Shot.
