Thanks in advance.

Hi! Welcome to CC! I made a pirate ship last year so here's a couple of things that I did that may help you.
I cut out the cake board from foam core in the shape of the ship (I just free handed it but you may be able to find a template online) and then used that as a guide to carve each layer of cake.
I used a chocolate cake with ganache which really helped set it up well. I crumb coated it with ganache and cut out planks from modeling chocolate mixed with fondant. Although cutting the planks was a bit tedious it really made it simple to cover the cake, as opposed to trying to cover the cake with one large piece of fondant.
Good luck!
Thank you JamandButtercream for the great links, just what I was after. And thank you Cherrycakes for your useful tips.
Much appreciated.
