Blueprints of the HMT Rohna

Has anyone ever seen any plans of the HMT Rohna? She is famous for her tragic sinking, but it seems that there are no reasonably accurate line drawings of her. The only drawing I've seen is the one made by one of the survivors and it's far from perfect (certainly not good enough to use it for building a model).

All the best,
Kaz

Hi,

As she has been built on the Tyneside, I suggest you to contact the Tyne & Wear archives services:

Hoping you'll get any success. If not, try to know if she had a sister-ship and where that sister has been built, even maybe try to contact the BI guys on their forum:

Thanks Laurent, I will contact Tyne & Wear archives and see if they are able to help.

It seems that the Tyne & Wear archives have only the ship capacity plan (Item 126), which would not be of that much help (correct me, if I am wrong):

However, I found a photo of a resin kit of the ship: http://waterline-ships.com/images/CIMG2946.JPG
Has anoyone got it in his collection. I'd love to see a better quality photo of it and a scan of the instruction sheet.

Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2013!
