Anybody know of any good sites to find 18th century warship blueprints?

Hey guys does anybody know of any good internet sites to find ship plans to submit to the shipbuilders here?

I've recently been asked by Jack Harrison for some plans for any 80-90 gun 2nd rate ships to make. I've been trying to find plans for HMS Temeraire on the internet but all I find are canvas paintings and endless links dedicated to HMS Victory as well as HMS Hood of 1941.

Does anyone know if any maritime museums have any accessible ship plan archives to find? Or anywhere else to find plans for HMS Temeraire or other 2nd rate Lineships?


In other words where do the other shipbuilders get their ship plans from?

The Naval Maritime Museum in London - but they rend to be pricey. If you want something for free, try the danish naval archives:

Like these for Raa of 1709, Judichaer

or these for, the Elephant of 1740, Barbé
