These catalogs are described and ordering information is included on the Smithsonian's website. The Smithsonian has produced three publications containing descriptions of these plans and instructions for ordering large-scale copies. To make their collection more accessible to the public, black-line reproductions of many of the plans are offered for sale. The Smithsonian's collection of watercraft plans, maintained by the History of Technology Division of the National Museum of American History, is a valuable resource. Their collection includes the general plans and drawing of most ships stricken from the Naval Vessel Register. Requests should be limited to no more than three ships at any one time. 1) Special Media Archives Services Division, Cartographic and Architectural Branch, RDSC, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001 telephone (301) 837-3200.
