Captain Jean-Luc Picard Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 http://americanhistory.si.edu/about/departments/work-and-industry/ship-plans "The majority of the Smithsonian watercraft plans are NOT original builder's plans. Most are the result of field documentation [...] the Smithsonian cannot warrant the seaworthiness or safety of vessels built from its collection of study plans.

" XD XD XD XD Are you going to build USS Essex replica and try to sail it or something? This is US and it's a normal procedure to avoid Court Cases filed by dumb people. These plans are perfect for games and ship models. Edited July 2, 2018 by Wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeRuyter Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Chappelle's book is a great source for information on US vessels. Likely to be more than 15 USD though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
