BuShips Drawings

[Mike K]

For those who are interested, I've just finished reassembling the following drawings and added them to mu stash:

01) Bow Buoyancy Vent Valve Valve Cover & Grating Details
02) Bow Diving Gear Arrangement Forward
03) Bulkhead - Frame  35
04) Bulkhead - Frame  47
05) Bulkhead - Frame  98
06) Bulkhead - Frame 107
07) Conning Tower Structural Details
08) Foundations Topside For Windlass Frame & Capstan Gear Case
09) Fwd Escape Trunk
10) Molded Offsets Outer Hull & Superstructure After Body
11) Molded Offsets Outer Hull & Superstructure Fore Body
12) Outer Shell Expansion
13) Stern Framing

This results in a full set of drawings for ALL frames, AA0 to 137 hull frames and AA0 to end of the turtle-back for the superstructure.
The conning tower details is for the "Barrel" itself, not the fairwater.
The drawings are, primarily, Portsmouth Balaos. But, according to notes on them, they apply to some Gatos and Tench Boats.
As always, the email-able drawings are 5 to 7 meg, in size, so it'll be one drawings at a time.
If you only need a specific drawing, you need to be as specific as possible. If you want a bunch of drawings, stand-by for one humungous download. Stretching over days, or even weeks.

PS. If you find the drawings useful, remember Pompanito (or a museum boat near you) at Christmas. Pompanito gave me their original copies (mostly in pieces) so they're the guys due the thanks. All I did was put them back together and clean them up, a little.
