For a novel which uses the same approach to technical and historical detail, it is hard not recommend [[Corsair by Tim Severin]] which, while more of a 'tale of derring do', does spend much of its energy upon recreating the detail of seafaring in the seventeenth century.
The aspect of technical detail and background of the skilled craftsman is a favorite theme of historical novelists, and a work which deals in this way with magnificently with a complete unknown artist (as opposed to the famous Columbus family) is [[The Master of Bruges by Terence Morgan]].
