Captains use several kinds of ammunition to load their cannons, depending on situation. There are three basic types of ammo:

Round Shots to damage ship's hull
Dismantling Shots to damage ship's sails and reduce its speed
Anti-personnel Shots to reduce enemy's numbers

In general, if you want to board a ship, you would use Dismantling Shots to slow it down and then Anti-personnel Shots right before the boarding, to kill off the crew. If you are not planning to board a ship, then you can go all the way with Round Shots to sink it.
