Re: Looking for info on Japanese Cruiser Matsushima... |

Thank you for the replies guys,
I have my copy of Warship 1990 and a copy of the 2005 book in Russian. For those that are interested, the above link is the 2005 book in a format that can be translated via Google Translate.
I would really like to find the gentleman who did this drawing. I had to re-size it to post, it is from the 2005 book. It looks like the initials are "WU '84"
The detail is too great to being going off of guesses... he had to have some access to period drawings.
There is also a reference in the book to: Journal de la Marine, 1890 but I have been unable to find any info on this publication.

Greetings all,
I thought I'd bump my own long dormant post back to the top... believe it or not I just now found a copy of Warship, 1990 and have it on the way. After 10 years the Matsushima is still on the back burner.
Thought I'd bump this to the top to see if any new sources of info on this ship have popped up?
Thanks

The Warship journal was printed by Conway? Right?
Anyway, I've ordered plans listed by Taubman for the Matsushima's sister ship. Hopefully they will be of some use, the ships seem to be quite similar in layout, only reversed.
I'm not holding my breath in regards to their quality, because $10, Taubman and nice plans don't go together in the same sentence

Try AbeBooks (USA). They have a copy for $50 US. That is cheap by the prices some of the volumes run for. I just checked their site and it is available in VG+.
If I had the computer set up I would scan and email the article to you, but I'm in the stone age with my computer set up

The 1990 edition of the Journal "Warship" has a nice article on the Matsushima class vessels. I agree that they are an interesting class of warship. You'll find the Warship article to be about the best info in English available on this class. As for plans of Matsushima herself, I don't know. But the Warship article has a nice four view set for the Hashidate. Side and deck views along with two showing all the internal layout.
The ships saw some action at the Battle of the Yalu and Matsushima took two 30.5cm hits from Chen Yuen, one of which did some serious damage.
