The Sailor's Word-Book by W.H. Smith and Sir Edward Belcher (nautical dictionary)

Published in 1867, 'The Sailor's Word-Book' contains a plethora of nautical terms that altogether provide a vivid picture of the old world of shipping. Many of the terms have become obsolete, but some are still in use today. At any rate, this book is a valuable resource for nautical writers, maritime researchers and anyone who has a deep interest in the history of shipping and seafaring. (4.3 MiB, PDF, 1,094 pages)
