Words and time periods

 I'm just fleshing out the details for Esme and Landon's story and have tried a dozen work arounds for sabotage and saboteur. Why? Because it wasn't a word until 1910.

I look up a lot of words, because language has changed so much in 200+ years. I don't just mean computer or call me or modern terminology phrases we use. I mean words like saboteur. Would anyone notice? Who knows, but I do try.

Esme is Kaya and Paul's eldest who is tracking down the person responsible for disrupting several of her family's cargo shipments. Landon, The Most Honorable Marquise of Strathan, is searching for a French spy. The year is 1806, the ship is the Brittiana, he's a titled gentleman and she's the daughter of--horrors--a merchant

They have 35 days between Portsmouth and Halifax. What could possibly happen?
