Preferably connected to sailing. It may be historical fiction (like Captain Blood by Sabatini or Treasure Island by Stevenson or Captain Singleton by Defoe) or otherwise (On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers). Or even non-fiction like Republic of Pirates or Under the Black Flag.
I am not mainly interested in pirates, I just did not find other books about that period – and I am not really interested in books which concern much greater timespans like most Caribbean history books.
Sailing is important but it can be about merchants, too, not just pirates.
Thank you in advance if you can help with some suggestions.
