This reader of the Aubrey/Maturin novels found “Hammocks: a Maritime Tool” well worth a skim. Illustrations that resolved some questions I didn’t know I had about the use of hammocks in naval ships during the Napoleonic Wars.
Also: looking at the build instructions for an HMS Speedy model helps. (Sophie in /Master and Commander/ was Speedy in real life.)
