There is a pirate drama series called "Black Sails" that is a pretty entertaining watch. My question though, as far as the ships in the show, are they purely fictional? If not, can we find the plans to those ships, or ships that draw similarities, their actual names, etc.) would be nice to see some of them in game. nostalgia.

I don't know how Black Sails' CGI team builds their ships. Maybe they use historical plans at some stage in the process, but they do not look particularly authentic. Some are clearly just artists messing around with 3D design software and glancing at Google Images every now and then.

 

All the pirate vessels appear to be enormous fat indiamen in that show, which is not accurate. They need beamy vessels with deep waists because that's where they do most of their filming, on the gundeck amidships. The bulwarks rise high above the actors' heads, cutting off our view of the surroundings. That saves a lot of money on digital backgrounds, and lends a nice arena quality to the fights and crew meetings.
