mid 19th century three-masted barque plans

Hello everyone!

I need plans for an 1830's - 1860's three-masted barque. Something like the Jeanie Johnston, the replica famine ship built to commemorate the Irish diaspora. Say about 150 feet loa, 26 feet beam, 510 tons displacement.

Does anyone have any pointers to commercial plans that may be of use?

Many thanks,

Andy

...Four days on, and all I see are the proverbial tumbleweeds blowing across this topic. It sounds like there aren't any plans for barques fo the period.  :(

Ok...it's (literally) back to the drawing board for me.

Thought someone else would pick this one up, it's a bit out of my field.

Harold Underhill drew up a number of period sailing ships plans. You can see descriptions on the Model Dockyard website here: http://www.model-dockyard.com/plans/underhill-sailing.asp

Also Robert Wilson has built a number of sailing ships as miniatures and may be able to suggest some sources of plans. His website is http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/miniatureshipmodels

Many thanks, Colin. I'll look into the urls.

Andy, I've just remembered that Model Boats used to feature a plan of the tea clipper Ariel - 1/60 scale and 55 inches loa, 7 inches beam. Model is described as sailing but not for the beginner. I have checked the X Plans list and it doesn't appear to be there so I assume that it is still on the MB list. You would have to contact them directly as their website is still not up and running.
