I didn't know where to ask, so I thought that I would start such a topic. This is not a well-known conflict, but some of its ships, like Huascar or Esmeralda sailed into history of naval warfare.
For a start, here is a link to some line drawings of the ships involved drawn by my friend Dean Stehman. I have his permission to use them as I see fit.

I would also like to ask for help with two warships, Peruvian armed steam launch Independencia and Chilean torpedo boat Janequeo. I have seen a great diorama that shows the battle between those two (built by Jose Antonio Bedoya), but I would like to know if there are any line drawings of these ships.

Michel B can probably give you some hints regarding Independencia: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=75454

Michel's Independencia was an ironclad and the Independencia that I had in mind was one of the ironclad's steam launches. It had two propellers which was uncommon for ship boats at that time. I checked "The Boats of Men-of-War" (Revised Edition), but there were no drawings of any similar boats. I assume that this Peruvian launch was not a special design, so there should be drawings of a similar steam launch somewhere.

The launch Independencia, was the steam launch of the Peruvian ironclad frigate Independencia. That launch remained in Callao for repairs when the ship sailed southward on his last trip before his sinking at Punta Gruesa, near Iquique on May 21, 1879.
