I have most definitely heard of grapeshot, and I'm looking forward to my 60 gun broadsides mincing enemy troops like a huge water-bourne sawn-off shotgun.

Actually historically British ships were painted in a reasonably colourful black and yellow striped colour scheme, but I believe this was only after the Battle of Trafalgar, so it falls outside of Empire's time frame.
