  1. Looking for plans of the ocean liner Michelangelo/ Raffaello. Might you have them or know where I may obtain a set. Thank you.

    • This one is not in our collection. You may want to search maritime museums near where the ship was built, or where it was berthed during its lifetime.

  2. Bonjour. Je recherche le plan du Saint Corentin chalutier vapeur construit en 1908 et coulé en 1916
