This ship is beautiful, with shadows and textures that are rich and inviting. I printed it at several scales: About 3" long for ship-to-ship fighting, then full-size for role-playing, and one deck at double-size (5 sheets of paper long, two wide) where I figured the bulk of the melee would take place.
I took off one-star in my rating because I think it's missing a deck. The top layer has stairs going up to the back half of the top layer drawing. I think that means the back half of the top deck isn't shown. Or maybe it just needs some labels. I couldn't figure it out.
My players burned the HMS Surprise to the waterline without setting foot on it, so I renamed it the HMS Garland and used the deck plans on a later ship that they boarded about three sessions later.
