Wow, 8 clues and no guesses. Either this movie is more obscure than I thought or there’s not much traffic on this thread.
Hint 9: The captain, still bound and gagged, gives a child a knife hoping she will free him.

Hint 11: The pirate captain comes on the scene too late to save the Dutch captain. He gets blood on his hands and, when a Royal Navy cutter comes on board, he and his crew are taken prisoner.

Well if I hadn't been dreaming of Tall Ships I might not have clued in to your clues.
Hint 1: The world is at war but much of our story is in a neutral country.
