Pirate Ship

Does anyone have a good place for Pirate Ship reference or blue prints of some kind? Thanks.

Nah, I've had a project in mind for a while now, and haven't been able to find any good schematics for classic ships really. There are however, lots of pictures & shit that you can infer from. I think that the fact that every ship was hand built, and pretty much different from the last is helpful in modeling them, as you can justify a lot of changes you make.

i think there is a thread devoted to references, i would bet theres a link some where in there for boats.

forgive my lazyness, i dont like to wrestle with forum search engines :P

Pretend it was stolen by pirates.

I'm pretty sure the San Diego Harbor houses some pirate ships. A few are used as tour boats, while others are used as restaurants and museums. Maybe start there? Sorry if this doesn't help.

Try looking at the San Diego Maritime museum store. And also walk around their ships of the line.

Your best bet is probably looking for sites about making model ships. Doing a quick google search for "model ship plans" yields loads of results. You might have to dig to find some that don't want you to pay, but even the example images might be sufficient for a reference for CG.

golden hind is an ACTUAL "pirate" ship, captained by sir francis drake, a privateer in the royal navy.

Best thing to do is go see some for yourself. The best reference you can get is the one you take yourself. Next best thing is getting a model. I'd recommend not getting one you have to assemble yourself; model kits are fun usually, but those ships are the ultimate test in patience...

Thanks everyone, I like the golden hinde stuff, I appreciate it and all the other stuff. I think I will drive down to San Diego and take some shots of the ships in the harbor there. IF anyone finds more stuff, keep posting it. Thanks.
