[Steef66]

The book The Galleon: The great Ships of the Armada Era by Peter Kirsch contains a complete planset to build the "Stockholmer Galeone". A lot of pictures and drawings (140) and the plans contain 10 construction drawings.

In the end of the book there is a copy of "The treatise on shipbuilding 1620 W. Salisbury & R.C. Anderson

My German Version got 232 pages and 2 A0 inlays with plans on both sides of the paper.
There are a lot of samples of rigging and explanation.
These are the pictures of my book:



This is a very informative book about these ships and a must have.

This is a great and classic book on the subject, a little outdated in some respect, but there is no way around this book if you want to deal with the subject.

I love the rigging plan, Kirsch used for his plans the info of Anderson's Treatise of.... This result in a very complete drawing of rigging these ships. I love the part of all the crowfeet that are used in the rigging. Most of them don't have a function. But are made by the sailor men just for decoration. To show their skills when entering a harbour.
I used this plan to rig my Spanish Galleon.
