Tudor Barge Design?

Very little coming up on JSTOR, and not particualrly mentionned in Royal River catalogue.

Are there references in the Royal Accounts regarding construction and decoration of barges?
Were artists such as Giovanni da Maiano ever employed in deocrating specifically barges? (re-visit biogrphical sources)
Were there are any authoratative texts that circulated europe-wide on barge design?
