Ben-my-chree(4) plan

I am happy to learn that Wirral Archives have a complete set of the GA drawings for this vessel, so I will be able to obtain the copies I need.

Ben-my-chree(4) plan

I heard back from info@cammell-laird.co.uk

Good Morning Mr. Bauer,

Thank you for your email.

All our historical records were moved to an archive some time ago Wirral Archives | wirral.gov.uk

I have asked one of our Directors who is particularly knowledgeable but he’s on annual leave presently so hopefully, he may have something to offer on his return.

Kind regards,
Ali Jones
Team Secretary

Yes, the fourth ship bearing the name of "Ben-my-chree" built in 1927 by Cammell Laird at Birkenhead. Scrapped in 1965. The Manx Museum in Douglas have a copy of the required drawing but are unable to copy or photograph it.

The museum might have further information if you contact them.

Also the ship builder may have in their archives some information. Try sending them an email, explaining what you are doing and looking for, who knows what might turn up.

I'm looking for a profile plan, labelled "Rigging Plan" by the shipbuilder, of this vessel. Happy to pay for a any costs associated with providing a copy.
Also interested in any details of the modifications made to the vessel for D-Day,
