Aye, I have completed the Pearl Battle(including The Goliath), doing it completely solo. Took alot of patience and retries as well as making sure my cannon skills were up ( finished with lvl 17 cannons). If you can get through the first four ships and first 3 bridges while still being at least in the yellow, you've got a good chance. The second set of bridges, I entered from the the right side of the first set, carefully maneuvering The Pearl at an angle before getting to the the first set of bridges. At the second set of bridges, as long as you stay basically out of sight of the one on the right, you can take out the one on the left, then take out the on on your right at your leisure. A lot of it seemed to (for me at least) be a matter of the angle of The Pearl. In other words, positioning it so ye can do the most damage to the bridges, while they do the least damage to you. Each set of bridges after the first 3 will not fire upon you until you start to go through the previous set, and any shots you take will not affect on them.
As far as The Goliath goes, ran full sail as soon as I could to stay ahead of her, and would keep her just at the edge of the radar screen, while firing broadsides. When she got too close, would turn in front of her and full sail again. Pretty much keeping just out of range of fire, while firing my broadsides. Hope this helps
