Old Sailing Ships
 Hey, Everyone! I'm looking for pics of old sailing ships like from around the 1600's or so... I have a serious love of these and want to do a mural in my studio (yes on the wall  ). THANKS!

Re: Old Sailing Ships
My Marine painter pal recommends the following books:
SAILING SHIP RIGS & RIGGING by Harold A Underhill. Publishers Brown Son & Ferguson, 52 Darnley St Glasgow.
MASTING & RIGGING....THE CLIPPER SHIP & OCEAN CARRIER Author and publisher as above.
THE SHIP by Bjorn Landstrom. Publishers Allen & Unwin
These books probably have been re-printed, Amazon might have copies or even EBay.
Hope this helps.

Re: Old Sailing Ships
Thank you and thank your friend for me too, Yorky! I'll look into them. I have quite a few ship models I've built that help, but it's not the same as seeing the real thing. Know what I mean? lol.

Re: Old Sailing Ships
Here's Ted's website which may help - he does extensive research before he paints a ship.

Re: Old Sailing Ships
You can google The Elissa out of Galveston, TX. She's been refurbished and is now sailing again. There are several sites with some nice pix of her on the net. We were there when she set sail again after being refurbished and were able to tour the below decks - all teak and brass and fabulous. I didn't get any pictures when she was at full sail but did see her. What a sight! Hope This helps.

Re: Old Sailing Ships
Hello, I realise this was posted some time ago but wondered if this would help at all, sadly not the full ship but something to consider maybe. The original file is large so you can get more detail if required.
This is a picture taken in a lovely little town of Brixham, Devon, England  |
