I have also liked Stockwin's Kydd series, whose main character starts as a pressed seaman. (Be warned that the plain seamen there do not talk proper English, but utter statements like "you’d better go aft ’n’ ask Mr. Tyrell ter give yer one". This did not add authenticity for me, it rather felt like in a hollywood film which takes place in e.g. France and therefore all characters speak English with a French accent. ;-)
