my grandfather started to build a billings model of the mercantic a few years ago. recently he started to finish the boat however, he misplaced the plans over the years.
can anyone advise me as to where i would find these plans?
Hi! I’m a naval architect student at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. I’m really intrested in getting a bodyplan of the mercantic hull. The reason why I’m interested is that one of the ships in that series is still running under Swedish flag with the name Polfors (ex Mercandan http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/mercandan_1967.htm ) as an educational platform for seamen. I want to use the ship to verify a manoeuvring simulation script that I have been programming and an important part in that would be to have the body plan. Unfortunately has not the owner of today any body plan only general arrangement drawings, scantlings and shell extrusions. So if you have the body plan and would be willing to help me I would really appreciate it.
regards Torvald
