I would like a book with nautical themes, involving travel and life aboard a ship. Can you make a suggestion?

I would recommend The Sea Wolf by Jack London. It tells the story of a crew’s struggle to survive on a ship lost at sea. It offers an excellent glimpse into the challenges of living and working on a ship, and the challenges of surviving in an unforgiving environment.

This seems like a good suggestion. Are there any others like it?

If you’re interested in more nautical themes, I would recommend Mutiny on the Bounty. That tells the story of a brutal mutiny on a ship led by a vicious and tyrannical captain. There are many, many parts of the story that I would consider gripping and thrilling.

What about one that just involves lots of travel by boat?
Well the stories in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn certainly take place on a river boat, but that’s only a small part of the action.  Actually, I don’t think I can think of any stories that just take place on a boat.  Why don’t you try imagining a story you’d like to read, and see if that helps us to find one you’ll like?
Well, there are many novels about travel by boat, but I would recommend The Beach by Alex Garland. It tells the story of a group of young backpackers traveling through Southeast Asia by boat, and their adventures and misadventures along the way. The journey is unforgettable, and the characters are engaging and compelling.
