Hey there ...
Blueprints of Galleons or any other old ships and machinery is hard to come by.
I think you will have better luck trying to search for plans, diagrams and linedrawings in the search engines.
There are some images here Lots of images
More ships
Drawings for sale
nice (but small) linedrawings and paintings
I am guessing you are about to model one in 3D, and you will want more detailed drawings.
Here's what I did 3 years ago, after going nuts not finding what I wanted online. I went to a library .. and spent about 50$ on photocopying ... on the way home .. I walked past a hobby shop ... and in the window ... they had a large scale model of Columbus Santa Maria. I went in ... and found that they had catalogues for sale, with pretty good detail info and diagrams. If you have a budget, you will get the best blueprints from the big set itself, but it can cost over a thousand US$ ... maybe if you're good at smooching around, you may be able to "convince" someone in the shop to lend you the drawings from that expensive set.
I failed ..
If you have time, buying a real plan is probably the best way, I had 6 hours and the project was scrapped along with about a week of hard work ..
Sir Francis Drake sailed around in a galleon too ... you might have some luck with that too if you search ..
Helpful ?
