Tall Ships from Painting Info

I was watching an old television show online and it had these beautiful paintings of old sailing ships decorating the set.

I was wondering if you could please tell me about the ships, like when ships of this type were built, what kind of ships they are, etc.

I realize these aren't the clearest images, but they were the best I could get from the show.
