Empire of Blue Water seems to fit your request. It is largely based on historical accounts of Henry Morgan and attempts to be historically accurate. At the same time written in an engaging way by someone who is primarily a writer. Not being a historian I found it very interesting.
If you read slightly further back into this subreddit's history there are actual real historians who post here. They made a list of historically good books someone interested in the history of piracy could read. If you search on Amazon at other books the authors listed there have written you will most likely find many more interesting books on the subject. I am planning to get this book on pirate hunting next, written by one of the listed authors.
Liberalia seems like a pretty cool pirate game. I've never played it myself but I've heard great reviews from others.
From what I can gather you play pirates trying to split up treasure after a long haul. You play different characters from your hand of cards to try and outrank or kill other players to collect the gold for yourself.
I used to have a job writing book reviews of self-published novels. Most were terrible but this one was a lot of fun, and given that it's self-published it's fairly "under the radar" as far as pirate novels go. The plot borrows liberally from The Count of Monte Christo, but the high-seas adventure stuff really excels on its own.

The Devils Fire is pretty great as far as fiction goes. It's no masterpiece of literature however it was tons of fun to read and I'm excited to pick up the two sequels.
yeah, lots of pirates were ex-royal navy, they probably nicked their swords when they turned pirate
i know you said as realistic as possible, but if you're willing to cheap out on the sword, i got this plastic one that's pretty good as costume swords go: https://smile.amazon.com/Disney-POTC5-Sword-Scabbard-Multicolor/dp/B01N28ABUC/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=pirate+sword&qid=1567553190&s=gateway&sr=8-9

[Empire of Blue Water] (https://www.amazon.com/Empire-Blue-Water-Americas-Catastrophe/dp/0307236617) by Stephan Talty. It focuses primarily on the real Captain Henry Morgan, the privateer, turned pirate, turned pirate hunter, but uses his life story as a jumping off point to go into the history of piracy in the early Americas. Fascinating stuff.
If you wanna have a cool book to put on a shelf, this one can be good to : https://www.amazon.com/Pirate-Dictionary-Terry-Breverton/dp/1589802438
He did marry 14 times, and it's said that his last wife, Mary Osmond, was used by his crew as a sex slave. Of course, a lot of the information we have is likely rumor and propaganda so take what you read with a grain of salt. Most of what we know about Blackbeard comes from this book, written in 1724, which is also unreliable and definitely exaggerated.
