The site gallica.bnf.fr offers various files related to ships and boats, french and other. There is e.g. a collection of etchings depicting french warships around 1800. Marine Française It takes a while to load (seems to be quite a big file). You see the first page and on the right hand side there is a small menu with a download icon (an arrow pointing downwards into a sort of file drawer). On the left hand side some more books appear, some by the famous naval historian Edmond Pâris. One of the works by Pâris is a treatise on south east Asian boats. Boats of south east asian people There is probably a lot more there. To search stuff you can use a search term with the site: qualifier (note colon behind the word site). if you enter: bateaux site:gallica.bnf.fr you get a plethora of results. If you use the site qualifier in the above manner you restrict results to just the specified site.

The capabilities of FreeCAD can be modified/enhanced by adding so called workbenches. These are basically macro packages and since I will, at some point in the future, model a frame structure (ship/boat/airplane) myself I have loaded the ship and the curved shape workbench. I wonder, Simon, whether you use any of these for your project? You also mention, that quite often you have to perform tedious, repetitive tasks. I have been using different numerical programs with a modeling capability (but not FreeCAD) and they all come with a macro (programming) language to enable you to automate such tasks. FreeCAD uses Python, one of the most powerful, elegant and easiest to learn programming languages currently available. Have you considered writing a few macros to automate part of your modeling?
