How cool!

Has anyone has seen any more? 

I know there are a bunch on sketchfab (a 3D marketplace), which is, it seems, what the Vrak museum is using to host their models.  

An account from the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary has a series of Great Lakes shipwrecks:

There's a near-endless flow of 3D work to look through, but here are some other notable wrecks I've come across on the site that you might enjoy:

I haven't been able to find any stories about the wreck in English yet, but here are a few Dutch sources... wonderful stuff!

NorthSeaDivers log for the wreck site, short summary of the location and identification of the ship including a useful outline of the remaining wreck overlaid on Apollo's draught:

There's a short video diving the wreck on this site:

Just a guess, but it seems like there's a chain pump visible among the guns.  The remaining wreck appears to be in wonderful condition.

Another video on NorthSeaDivers facebook: https://fb.watch/2-tuQA87I9/ almost entirely viewing the ship's guns on the seabed

Site outlining a few finds from the wreck (including two remarkable bayonet scabbards & cartridge bags) from last summer(?), which seem to be bound for Kaap Skil, on loan from England:

Hello Sperry,

(Another new member here, though I've been lurking for a while.  Going to introduce myself soon!)

You might be interested in the visual references on the MOLA Deptford archaeology reports.  The online versions include almost only technical talk, save a short historical background at the beginning, but there's a wealth of image references at the end: 

https://www.mola.org.uk/sites/default/files/downloads/Convoys%20Wharf%20post-ex%20assessment%20Part1.pdf

That's the one which I think would be most useful for what you're after, but the other parts can be accessed through this page: https://www.mola.org.uk/blog/archaeological-investigation-deptford-royal-dockyard.

As Allan and Wayne suggested, the NMM has plenty of resources that may interest you.  They have some great late-Georgian models as well: https://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections.html#!csearch;searchTerm=dockyard_model

There's also YouTube video showing different angles (with larger pictures) of the NMM Deptford model: 

It could be too detailed or too focused on a single yard for your purposes, but I can't help highly recommending the full MOLA publication on the royal yard at Deptford: https://www.mola.org.uk/deptford-royal-dockyard-and-manor-sayes-court-london-excavations-2000–12.  It's pricey, but cheap in truth for what it is.  It's an excellent book all around, well-written and extraordinarily informative.  

I apologize if these pictures are hard to read, but here is what the ToC looks like, in case you or anyone else is interested in buying it:

I hope these help!
