I ran across this on ebay today. The seller is in Floyd Knobs which is just outside Louisville in Southern IN. Not sure if the museum has a set or not. Would assume they do and not sure how complete this is?

More Stuff from the scrap yard?
I wonder if these drawings are more "found objects" from the scrapyard? Would they carry a set on the boat all these years?

They did carry a set aboard...although I am pretty sure these aren't it. I have bid...but was immediately outbid...so I backed out on them. Would love to just have a chance to see them once and see the changes from the original plans to the finished product.

FYI, a quick update on the blueprints.
I emailed the seller and asked for a buy it now price. His response is that his reserve is $500.00. I had hoped that if they were reasonable enough I would go ahead and buy them and offer to donate them to the museum, but I think the price is a little strong.
If they are of interest to the museum I would be willing to make a donation to help fund the purchase, assuming they are of value?

Is this a complete set? How many sheets are we talking about? Are these Hull drawings, superstructure, engines, electrical. Bottom line: just what is for sale?

The ebay add states "there are more than 350 different blueprints." I can not see where it states that it is a complete set or not.
