You're over estimating the power of one ship.

First, the size is only around 1/3 of a size bigger than the Pearl and the Dutchman(not combined) and Beckett hesitated. The amount of guns being fired by the Pearl and the Dutchman was more than enough to take down the ship.

And it wasn't one broadside. At least each cannon from both ships was fired once, but if you look carefully during the movie, you'll see that some cannons fire twice.

I'm just saying, the amount of cannons hitting the ship was more than enough to take it down, especially with the amount of power the dutchman and pearl have combined.
