There are contemporary deck plans, and there are contemporary deck plans.   I spotted the incredibly detailed drawings of all decks of a 60 gun British ship circa 1745 in Caruana's volume II of English Sea Ordinance of all places where he credited RMG as the source.  I went to the RMG collections and found the drawing there so it is available in low resolution for free, but I am thinking I may have to go for a high res copy for future use.   It is not often that I have seen deck plans with such detail.   While it is specific to a fourth rate and  based on the 1745 Establishment, I am sure it will be at least partially useful in many respects for other vessels and eras including a good bit of the 1719 Establishment.
