' Fort' is fine, Jon. More usually associated with land battle euphemisms but it works here as well because sailors often assailed forts.

Captain Roberts, as I'm sure you know, continued being reprinted with other Captain names and went into oral tradition as 'The Bold Benjamin-o' 'Brave Admiral Benbow's gone to sea, oh, me boys, oh.'
