Thanks Bob,
The San Francisco Maritime National Park Association is a source of a number of great pieces of information, including all 425 pages of David Steel's 1794 book The Elements and Practice of Rigging and Seamanship which is a free download and should be in anyone's library that is doing rigging on 18th century ships.
