There is only one campaign. You could design your own though. And yes, I've heard of them.

Raking is also known as 'crossing the T', and describes the act of unleashing a broadside (usually a sequential firing of the cannons, instead of all-at-once) at the weakest section of the enemy ship's hull - in other words the bow, or preferably the stern, where large glass windows put up very little resistance to roundshot. A single cannonball fired lengthways down a ship in the act of raking could kill dozens and dismount cannons.
