One of my all-time favorites is Shogun, by James Clavell. It is a historical fiction about an English/Danish (protestant) ship's pilot who finds himself shipwrecked in Japan. He is the first non-Spaniard/Portugese (Catholic) to reach Japan and the English and Spanish are at war.
I've been on a boat-book kick recently actually... after Shogun I read the entire Mutiny on the Bounty Trilogy by Nordhoff and White (highly recommended). Now I'm into the second book of the 21 book series of Master and Commander by O'Brian. His writing is much more technical and a little harder to follow at times, but very interesting as well.
