Perhaps you could expand on what you wish to class as a ship. Most of the folks on the forum are dealing with what we usually call boats and not vessels that are normally called ships.

yes, i know that. at the moment, i want to build a 3D ship library (include boats), then i want to share it for students who need it. I think rebuild a 3D model is needed.
So i am looking for lines plan of Catamaran, canoes, tug, hight speed canoes ...
from 2D lines plan, i will modelling to 3D model. i think it is very interesting.
thanks every body.

You will have to deal with copyright issues. Contact differenct engineering and naval architecture firms. Some will license you as a user of their designs. Others may charge royalties or have some kind of arrangement.
You must be careful about using modern copyrighted/patented hull lines. However, their are many standard long expired "public domain" hull lines to be found in dusty "Proceedings of Naval Architecture" books to create the foundation of a very broad variety of ship and boat hull lines. You can find just about any type of hull from river paddelwheelers to semi-swath and all the "standard" forms in between
Here is some info on CAD lines input:
