It was actually a brilliant style to alter the spelling of the words to evoke the accents and manner of speaking of each character. As it goes on though, it was difficult to discern what they were saying, especially if you are not familiar with the naval lingo. I do agree though that the author is very good at describing the surroundings, very impressive indeed.
I'm glad you enjoyed reading the book.

I found this review thorough but maybe a bit overwritten. Since it seems to be appropriate to be picky here, I will say that the word "very" is a useless modifier in most cases. Let the simple adjective speak for itself. I am also surprised that the review took no issue with the title which, for me, promised a true life story. Authors of historical fiction should be cautious in all ways about blurring lines between fact and fiction.
