As we gear up work on the COG expansion, a good portion of which will be devoted to the naval game, we are hoping to find some detailed diagrams of the various Napoleonic-era ships that show them from different angles (side, top, front, etc.). This turns out to be somewhat hard to find. Do any of you have ideas on where to find this, either on the web or in book form? This is essential to getting the graphics right.

Thanks.

Hi Gil,

You are talking about ships from the different powers ?

Should it be SOL only ?

Furthermore is it going to be in icon shape or 3D ?

In any case seek help here:

You can search online but i recommend you send them a mail to save your time [;)]

Maybe you could just break out a game of Wooden Ships and Iron Men. 

Will keep looking - this so far:

The links look great, thanks!  We are working to build our own 3D models.  Looking for ships to represent the types of ships currently in COG -- so Heavy Ships (1st Rates), Ships (3rd Rates, 74 guns), frigates, privateers, merchants, and transports.

Does anyone know anything about the "Anatomy of the Ship" series of books?
