I am just glad to see the books going somewhere useful and that Paul Gagne' (RIP) would be proud of.

Just wondering if you were ever able to dredge up 😁 any plans on this from the Paisley museum. I wonder what happened to it afterwards. 

Kansas city area. (MO) 

$1000 usd, but shipping will set you back another $3-400 or so if you can't pick it up... It's in a 90 lb wooden crate

This set is still available for purchase if anyone is interested... They don't come up very often. 

The Kansas city Square Riggers ship model club is meeting this Sunday... PM for info if anyone is interested.

What is the price?

Thanks

Check your PMs Allan. 

That's a great summation Harvey. 

I opened and looked thru volume 7 (west Coast) today and it is by far the most detailed of the volumes... Many of plans could be converted to models straight from the drawings or with just a little modification... Lots of good stuff in there.. 

There's a group of us in KC that meet up every other month to geek out on ship models... If you are interested.

I believe there were 300 copies printed, and yes a crazy cool set of books. 

Makes a nice coffee table too 😁

A good friend's widow has a copy of the Historical American Merchant Marine Survey, (HAMMS) in mint condition and still with original wood crate. It weighs ~100 lbs so shipping is a problem, but she is willing to sell if you can pick up in person.  Kansas City area.  She actually had two copies but I bought the other.  Here are some pix of mine... 

here's some more information on them:

and a video of someone using one...
