You might find this useful. There are two black and white photos on deck while fishing.  http://stellwagen.noaa.gov/maritime/easternrigdragger.html

Try contacting Mystic Seaport.  They may be able to provide exactly what you're looking for.

to be honest I don't really know the rig very well at all- seems quite peculiar to the States

 In the UK the two-mast type, this is the only plan I know of: http://www.myhobbystore.com/2095/Colyer-Eileen-MM737.html

 this is a wee bit small though.

 About a similar size (90ft) and date is the Admiralty 'strath' class of fishing vessel seen on the plans website below;

hope this begins to help!!

 good luck,

Will

Hi! I'm looking for a detailed rigging plan of an East Coast USA dragger, similar to the Roann at Mystic Seaport.  Are there any readily available commercial plans? 

Thanks, Dave
