Can anyone help with some historical research?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone can help me with some research that I am doing for my next visual art painting series. My newest paintings will be set underwater, and I am giving this series a strong historical context.
The subject matter I am looking for are as many images as possible on the following First World War Royal Navy ships:

HMS Invincible, Indefatigable, Queen Mary
HMS Defence, Warrior and Black Prince
HMS Triumph, Irresistible and Formidable
HMS Audacious, Goliath and Majestic
HMS Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy
HMS Good Hope and Monmouth

For the keen observer, you will notice all of those ships were sunk during the war. Would any of you know, where I could find a wealth of imagery for these ships? In the interest of time, I am flexible on the exact ship- their respective class would be good enough. In an ideal world, close up shots, on the bridge, main deck etc would be the best to work with.
A fair amount of research has already been done, but if there is a site or reference out there that would make this job easier, that would be very handy.

If you would like to see more of what I do, you will find it here; www.major-art.com

Thanks in advance!
