I find naval battles fascinating, but they can be hard to visualize over time. Not only location of key events like this, but where each ship is located, where/what they were shooting, etc. There are a handful of YouTube channels that do reasonable jobs animating this, but I’d love something interactive I could scrub through at my leisure and provide lots more detail and context. I had been tinkering with an educational game where you could load in a battle and watch from almost any perspective (especially on deck), but as you might imagine that is a wildly large scope. Maybe something like this is a better first step :)

I love this. There are books I've read that I never really had a good mental image of where the locations were.
Just a note that despite the title these are not all fiction. Which is great! I can think of a couple books i'd love to add.
