Captain Richard Martin Woodman LVO MNM (10 March 1944 – 2 October 2024) was an English merchant navy officer, novelist and naval historian. Woodman served at sea mainly working for Trinity House and retired in 1997 from a 37-year nautical career, to write full-time. He published a series of fictional stories, as well as researching and writing several non-fictional historical books on maritime topics. Woodman published over 70 books, including historical studies, novels and novellas.

The first English word relating to ships on record is 'keel' (found in a Latin history of 545 AD), from which one may infer the ship in its primitive form was an object useful to man from earliest times.
