Nice list; thanks for assembling this.
That first one is by Bernie Bachrach and his son. Absolutely the most solid history you'll find. Stanton's book is a bit dull but filled with details. I'd add Archibald Lewis, European Naval and Maritime History, 300–1500. It's old, but Archie wrote well. I took a readings class from him at UMass.
