Well, explaining just how curses would work is a bit tough as it has a lot to do with context, as I'm sure you know.
Lets say a captain gives an order to his crew and he wants them to be quick about it, he'd probably say it something like this
"Avast ye dogs, swab thet deck an' make shore the cannon 'r well polished or the cap'n 'll 'ave yer arses keel 'auled in no time" = 'You slobs, get that deck mopped and the cannons polished or the captain will have you keel hauled'

Avast = Attention
Dogs = Sailors or pirate sailors
Keel Haul = to discipline a man by tying a rope to wrists, heaving the rope over the side of the ship and around her keel, then tying the other end to the mans ankles, then they are pulled around the keel of the ship several times. Usually resulting in their death due to lacerations from barnacles and drowning....
by the devil = thousand devils - This is a rough guess. This is something that would be open to a bit of interpretation depending on situation I believe.
scurvy dogs! = usually used derogitorily towards the crewmen by officers indicating the men are lazy or useless.
sea devil is a rough one to give an idea of, there are many words that would fit.
Rogue, demon, devil, scourge and more would work. Again that would be really based on the situation we are working with.
Also there will be a definite difference in the speech patterns of an educated man versus the average pirate or seaman. Most officers will be educated and thier text should reflect that. More pirate type officers would have a rougher speech style, possibly sounding less educated or more filled with curses and foul language.
Though there will be some exceptions to that rule, as Blackbeard for example is said to have been an actually very well educated man who just preferred cultivating a colorful air and speech that would shock more 'civilized' members of society.
