I am referring to _Arabella and the Battle of Venus_ by David Levine
which is the 2nd book in his Arabella series*. This takes place in a
very strange solar system where breathable atmosphere exists in
interplanetary space. So we have 2 fleets of large c. 1800 sailing
ships (with 2 extra sets of masts set 120 degrees from the vertical
ones) in space shooting at each other with muzzle loading black
powder cannon.  BTW, the commander of the British fleet is Admiral
Horatio Nelson.

Karl Schroeder's Virga series features a huge sphere filled with air,
that has a number of small nations orbiting an artificial sun.
