I nice found on youtube with two vessels where very good drawings are available

The merchantman La Belle was a Barque, two square sail bearing mast with fore and aft mast bearing latine sails.
Her historical significance is that she was part of the fleet of La Salle, a French explorer who founded a small French colony on the Coast of Texas.
It caused a diplomatic issue with Spain before being evacuated.
The colony is part of why Texan say that "Six Flags" have flown over the state.

The original drawings and monographie from Jean Boudriot are published by ancre
