That's one of the few pictures of old ships I found on the net.  If
someone can point me to any more pictures, that would be great.
Especially pictures of some old "castles" from that era.  I'd like to
build something to house my imperial guards/soldiers from all the
remaining white bricks.

Looks like a Pyle or Wyeth painting.  Search the web for either Howard Pyle or
N.C. Wyeth.  Both were great pirate painters (N.C. was Pyle's student and
father of Andrew Wyeth and grandfather of Jamie Wyeth and there's probably a
fourth generation Wyeth).  Don Maitz does pirate paintings, but I can only
recall one ship (even just did a painting for National Geographic).

Here's a great starting point might be:

They'll have lots of links to get you going.
