I don't know if there are written descriptions of Elven ships, aside from those of Galadriel and Celeborn, but I have one of Tolkien's own paintings which shows one in the book J. R. R. Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator. The watercolour is called Halls of Manwë (Taniquetil) and in the foreground a swan-shaped ship with one sail and four sets of oars can be seen. I shall attempt to find a copy of the painting online and edit this post to include the link if I do.
