As titled above, I am new to the Readers' Forum. Hopefully, this adventure will benefit us all, especially me. (I need all the benefitting I can get!) My area of interest is ships, particularly 1/96-1/100 scale sailing ships. Whether the subject is a native straddling a log and holding a rag up to the wind, to the most technological sailing vessel, makes little difference to me. They are all interesting and challenging subjects in their own right.
With that said, I need direction on where to find ship plans, The foremost one that springs to mind is Thermopylae. (Did I just hear a collective gasp/groan/sigh of exasperation?) There seems to be a dearth of information regarding the Thermopylae. I recall reading the original draughts do not exist. Nevertheless, I hope there is/are sets of plans that are reasonably definitive. Do ANY of you fine forum followers have knowledge of such plans and where I may purchase or purloin them? I am all ears, or "eyes" as in the written word. Cheerfully in advance, thank you.
