Well, not really in the genre so much, although it fits under Age of Sail, but I immediately thought of Scurvy (http://www.amazon.com/Scurvy-Surgeon-Mariner-Gentlemen-Greatest/dp/0312313926/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-4891011-8120817?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1188590159&sr=8-1). Plenty of satisfyingly gross details for the middle-school boy! Gross food! Disgusting illnesses! Captain Cook! The scientific method!
