Marine Art
You probably can't do better than to start at http://www.marineart.com/. It covers the gamut, including good links to specialist marine art galleries, marine photographs, museums and much else. This is one of the best websites we know and leads to the sites of the Canadian Society of Marine Artists, International Society of Marine Painters, Royal Society of Marine Artists, and The American Society of Marine Artists.
If what you want is to commission someone to paint a maritime scene or ship for you, or to look at present day marine artist's work, try http://dir.yahoo.com/Arts/Visual_Arts/Thematic/Marine/Artists/. It is North American biased.
If you're interested in historic art and want to buy or sell, look at http://www.fineartemporium.com
And finally, some of the world's best marine art can be found at Britain's National Maritime Museum (http://www.nmm.ac.uk), as can the art and artifacts of the China Trade at the Peabody Essex Museum (http://www.pem.org/homepage)
