If anyone could recommend any good books with line drawings of different vessels, from different fleets I would appreciate it greatly! Looking for late 1600's to 1830 date range!
Thanks ... Jeff

A good start are the books by Brian Lavery, and in general the books of Conway Maritime Press.
For French ships the absolute reference is Jean Boudriot and the Editions de l'Ancre.
You'll have to occupy you for some months...

I have signed out Nelson's Navy by Mr. Lavery from our local library. Awesome book to say the least. Thanks again for the tip!

Try "the sailing navy list" by David Lyon. You'll find a lot of line drawings there.
