Thank you for the heads up,

Are the plans in Richmond complete or are they just general plans? I have seen a plan before that is "thought" to be the Virginia II, but it is a simple 3-view plan of a vessel that is 180ft BP... I'm looking for plans that show hull lines.

I went ahead and sent off for the Warship Plans list from the Smithsonian.

I wonder if the Museum of the Confederacy would be willing to (or does) sell copies?

Anybody know where I can get a copy of Robert Holcombe's work?

Thanks again
