Need a good 'pirate' themed book

[Lisa Nadazdy]

I need a good d20 book with solid rules on naval warfare, hopefully with rules for cannons and the like.

What do you guys recommend?

The most realistic set of ship to ship combat for d20 so far is in "Broadsides". It includes cannon.

Seas of Blood and Seafarer's Handbook are both good if you want ship to ship to be less true to how ships really work but more flowing/quick/narrative. I'm not sure if these cover cannon.

d20 Swashbuckling Adventures is good if you want an entire swashbuckling game with new classes, equipment, etc. Swashbuckling Adventures has gunpowder as well. Ship to ship combat is on the flowing/quick/narrative side.
