Also highly recommended for the story of the ship, although mostly text and no plans:

“Brunel’s Ships”, Dennis Griffiths, Andrew, Lambert, and Fred Walker, 1999, has large copies of the John Scott Russell plans across two pages each. This includes the profile plan and four decks. Drawings however are as designed and not as built, so includes features such as the steam launches behind the paddle wheel boxes and five obround (oval) funnels. Russell’s lines plan for the hull is unfortunately not included.

Thanks Simon, I'll definitely consider adding it to my collection. Pity there aren't any plan and profile drawings easily available. Previous Message
