Boys at Sea Sodomy, Indecency, and Courts

This study of homoerotic life in the Royal Navy during the age of sail deals not only with sex among ordinary crewmen, but also reveals that the most consistent feature of prosecutions for sodomy and indecency involved officers forcing their attentions on ships' boys.
