Greetings,

I was wondering if there was a good way to search the British National Maritime Museum? They say that they have over 1,000,000,000 different drawings in the collection and I was looking to see if they have any drawings on the paddle steamer Lord Clyde / Advance / USS Advance - Frolic. These are all name for the same ship built at Greenock, Scotland, by Caird & Co. was launched on 3 July 1862 as the Clyde packet Lord Clyde. I tried to do a search and the search came back with 700 plus hits show medals, plates and other things. Any help would be appreciated.
