My go to book on nautical terms is "THE OXFORD COMPANION TO SHIPS AND THE SEA"
Edited by Peter Kemp. I enjoy just choosing a page and reading.

Late edit of this Post. I came across a few terms that were not in the Oxford Companion. I did find these words in another book I have "THE SAILORS WORD BOOK by Admiral W.H. Smyth. Those terms or words are Portfire and Jonathan.
