16th, 17th and 18th Century Ship Blueprints
I've added a bunch of 16th, 17th and 18th Century ship blueprints up on my blog. They are extremely high resolution in .TIFF format, and they took me days to gather up and compile together. I wanted to share them with others to help make finding references for these types of ships much easier. Enjoy.… -

Although I've been thinking of coming back to it and turning it into a game ready model and redo the textures. I really loved nurbs for doing sails and the hull of the ship - although nowadays I'd switch to polies sooner.… -

I think one of the most fascinating things from those images is how they show the technology of wooden shipbuilding evolving. Look at pre-1500 vessels like Santa Maria, or even the late 1500s HMS Revenge that are short bow-to-stern, have a very deep keel, and have aft and fore decks that rise so sharply the whole ship… -
