This is wonderful. If you don't know Vowell's work, she is hilariously funny, and she's a damn good amateur historian.

Sarah Vowell writes some interesting and particular books on American History. I don't think it is on the lines of the swashbuckling adventure you mention above but it is quite fascinating and humorous. Latest being Lafayette in the Somewhat United States.
If it is historical fiction, political intrigue, & sea fairing adventure you seek, there is the Patrick O'Brian novels on the the British Navy during the the beginning of the 19th century. Master and Commander, Aubrey/Maturin Novels The movie Master and Commander (with Russell Crowe) took a stab at a bit of the story. I am presently on Book 10. It is a long series.
