Here is a few...
Queen Anne's Revenge - Google Image Search

Adventure Galley - Google Image Search

The Revenge ship - Google Image Search

The William ship - Google Image Search

Victory ship - Google Image Search

Also dont forget that in the English Elizabethen era, she had "lawful pirates" working for her attacking enemy treasure ships, so try googling things like..

Sir Francis Drake (The Pelican - renamed "The Golden Hind")
Sir Walter Raleigh ("The Ark Royal")
Sir Richard Hawkings ("The Dainty" and "The Swallow")
Sir Martin Frobisher ("The Gabriel")
Sir Humpfry Gilbert ("Anne Ager" "The Raleigh" "The Swallow" and "The Squirrel")
Sir John Hawkings ("The Victory")
Sir Richard Grenville ("The Revenge" "Tiger" "Roebuck" "Lion" "Elizabeth" "Dorothy John Hawkins")

Also try googling "Privateers"

Cheers
