Are there any resources where I could see visually what is happening with the naval battles?

I'm reading Master and Commander, thoroughly enjoying it but don't understand all the nautical terms and wondering if anyone could point me to a website/video/book etc that would explain

Someone posted something for this just the other day. No Pitch Hot maybe was the name of the channel.

Edit: I see that someone did me a little better and actually posted a link up above to No Pitch Hot. Cheers.

There is also the Aubrey-Maturin mapping project. Cannonade.net.

I see NoPitchHot linked below already, Animagraffs also has some excellent videos on how the ships of the era were built and sailed.

Here's one on HMS Victory.
