Thanks! I went to the library today, and "Building the Wooden Ship" was available, and I got it - very interesting book. :-)
And the documentary is awesome! I visited the Batavia shipyard at Lelystad in the Netherlands last summer, and learned quite a lot about the ongoings there as well.

I am starting my first build of the Naval Cutter Alert, and I'd like to recreate all stages of construction at the shipyard, similar to the low-polygon project at http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=33757&f=81
What books or other sources of information are the primary sources to learn more about the actual building process at the shipyards? The Alert was built in Dover, and then sheathed with copper in a graving dock as Deptford. Good to know, but can anyone point me towards visual guides of the building techniques at that time for a smaller ship like the Alert?
Also, where can I find information about the wharfes themselves (layout, buildings, machinery, etc)?

Thanks, everyone. I happened upon this book: "Ships and Seamanship: The Maritime Prints of JJ Baugean" by John Harland, and there is a section of ship building and repair in it. Beautiful prints, and great first-hand evidence.
Really lucky to find this book: I was passing a second hand bookstore downtown, and there it was in the window. can$40, which is not bad.
