Captaindrewi (Sailing ships) asked me to post some stuff i've done in the past, to help others that may have ? so here go's.
All done in Anim8or. First off before you start any 3d project look for some good images.(I did mine by eye) but pdf schematics are a good start you can download them for free (you just can't print without paying for the key) But for 3d work its ideal just  use the snipping tool. highlight over the images you want and vala ref. image if you don't have snipping tool try irfanview with screen grab. Now I do have a site that the person did the best 3d work i've seen so far on a ship of the line(ill post in a bit)But it was done in sketchup (sorry for him) anim8or is still the best and not just because I like it. But it really is just better.

What I would have done differently (1) edge loops more like in the sails (2)alpha maks planes for rope and rigging may still do for ropes just to drop the poly count more

Your work really floats my boat

[captaindrewi]

Thanks Anthony the links and images were all great.yeah, i would like have a go at modeling from a schematic, a sort of  modeling kit approach but haven't found a free plan site yet.

[Anthony44]

NP cap, as for the schematics try searching for pdf ship plans I think thats how I found some. I would post what I had but that was one dead laptop ago.

WOW! The texturing really makes this nice model a lot more detailed and pretty! Really nice, hoping to see more

[Anthony44]

Thanks Davdud the( links are much better images to view) but I just wanted every one to know it was done in Anim8tor before I blender rendered it and sculptris textured it.

[cooldude234]

To be honest I think I prefer the way it looked before its textures. But I think that might be because of lack of proper lighting (shadows to be specific) so it becomes hard to see the details.
