Does anyone have a suggestion regarding where one might find plans for the Caledonian Salvor? She was a Diver class ARS (Rescue Salvage ship) transferred to the Royal Navy under Lend/Lease in 1943. Later, in 1945, she was transferred to Australia, again under Lend Lease, and sold to Australia in 1948. Sold into Merchant service in 1958, she became a reef in 1981.
Her configuration is that of the USS Diver. Almost all other ships of her class in USN service carried a single main mast rather than the twin towers aft.
There were a total of 12 ships of this class transferred to RN and RAN during the war.Any suggestions appreciated.Thank You.Jonathan
