Hi! One of my POV characters is a pirate captain in a medieval fantasy setting, but I don't know anything about ships or sailing! I want the voice and descriptions to be convincing without being gimmicky, but I don't even know where to start. Do you have any tips/resources or even fiction recs, maybe? Thank you, and sorry if this has been asked before!!

Hiya! Thanksfor your question! Historical research is important if you want your story tobe accurate.
