This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Good Pirate resources?

You might be able to do something with Tales of the Black Freighter from the Watchmen graphic novel.

The Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag soundtrack has a number of sea shanties on it that were recorded for the game. Might be good for some atmospheric music.

EDIT: Link to a YouTube collection of them if you want to take a listen.

Skull & Shackles by Paizo is actually very good. I waited for and prepared for a decade, at least, to run a pirate campaign, and wouldn't have expected such good quality from Paizo.

GURPS Swashbucklers has some good material whether or not you use GURPS.

The old Pirates & Plunder from Yaquinto is probably too hard to find at a decent price to be worthwhile.

Thanks, matey! I don't use GURPS, but they do have some cracking sourcebooks, so I'll definitely pick that one up too.

Ta' very much! :)

Well, the Chans are good, Torrent is good, USENET if you can get there...
(We all know somebody had to say it)

People have given the best answers, but here are a couple more:
"Arrgh Thar Be Zombies" for AFMBE, and Adamant put out a magazine called "Buccaneers & Bokor".  
Dungeon Crawl Classic #4 is late or post pirate.  You found a treasure map to one of the most legendary hauls of all time:  All you have to do is go pick it up, right?

Weirdly, I can't find much Call of Cthulhu stuff.

Save or Die did a review recently on Freebooters, a White Box style pirate game.  Sounds like a pretty good resource, whether or not you go for the old school system.

If you're interested in miniatures at  all, you can save a lot of money by using Legos...they make a lot of pirate sets:

There are also a lot of Lego-compatible knockoffs as well. My son has a pirate ship set and my daughter wanted "a good guy ship," and the best one of comparable size was an off-brand version that cost far less:
