While it's not quite up to Horatio Hornblower standards there is something that is entertaining in Harry Collingwood's The Cruise of the Nonsuch Buccaneer:

This is part of a number of volumes just put up on The Online Books Page for today and yesterday:

March 18th 2009 has a bunch more Collingwood including With Airship and Submarine.  There is also a nice PDF for download about "The Meanings of Timbuktu" by Shamil Jeppie and Souleymane Bachir Diagne which is sure to be more factual!

March 17th has a bunch of Western works by B.M. Bower who I can remember reading as a teenager:

The also had an interesting book about Classical Geography,  by Henry Fanshawe Tozer and one about the Incomplete Art of Discovery by Jack E. Oliver.

This is all put together by the Online Books Page on an almost daily basis:
