Bomb Vessels are in moment one of the topics here in our forum, so therefore I want to introduce a very interesting book about this kind of specialist vessels. The Bomb Vessel - Shore Bombardment Ships of the Age of Sail by Chris Ware Hardcover: 111 pages Publisher: Naval Institute Press...
You could also try an edition of Ancre - Le Salamandre.
Is part of Boudriot's collection and describes the entire vessel. www.ancre.fr there is also an english version on the site
