Description:

U.S.S. ARIZONA BLUEPRINTS
Set of four cyanotype schematics, each 9" x 45", depicting top-down views of the main deck, upper deck, superstructure deck, and bridges and fighting platforms of the American battleship U.S.S. ARIZONA, which was destroyed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Each of these period blueprints, drawn to a scale of 1/16" = 1', are marked with the name of the ship, with each component and piece of equipment labelled. These schematics were likely reproduced directly from plans drawn for the ship's last modernization before her destruction, and may have been made around the time of the construction of the memorial which now marks her wreck site. Also present is a vintage 13" x 46" facsimile line schematic, showing six top-down views of the ship's interior decks and engineering spaces. Builder's schematics for U.S. Navy ships are highly desireable, especially those of such a famous ship as this.
