Dear all I would appreciate any help at all this - I have hit a brick wall! I have been searching for a ship's plan for the 'Imperial' launched in 1889 by Laird Brothers of Birkenhead. She was a screw steamer with 3 masts and 2 funnels. I have a photograph for her but try as I might I cannot find a ship's plan. I have tried Wirral archives (where all the Laird Brothers archives are stored) and the National Maritime Museum with no luck. It seems that the plans no longer exist. The next step is to find a similar ship's plan. I cannot post a photograph here but if anyone thinks they might be able to help me locate a similar plan then I can send the photograph on to them. I even have a picture of her saloon. Thank you in advance! Rhiannon
