Archives: Technical Drawings
The inventory of technical drawings covers about 16.000 general and detailed plans of German ships or ships that were constructed, or at least planned, in Germany. The development of steam and motor-powered shipping is documented especially well.
Special highlights are the archives of plans
- of the earlier Junge-Shipyard in Wewelsfleth on small shipbuilding in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
- the former Ruthof-Shipyard in Mainz and the Berninghaus-Shipyard in Cologne on the construction of inland ships in the twentieth century
- the former Schlichting-Shipyard in Travemünde and the Lübeck Shipbuilding Company on the construction of sea freight and special ships of the twentieth century
Besides the shipping plans there are also technical drawings of the ports and shipyards.
