Hello
Although I know that the originating thread is hopelessly stale someone dug it out,
and I am pleased to hear that the cargo vessel LUDOLF OLDENDORFF was depicted on a small GA plan as supplement to the 1958 edition of
Handbuch der Werften (HdW).
I know the HdW books and found out that issues of them are available not far from me in the magazine archives of the library of the Technical University of Berlin (i.e. Sig. 8Z133).
Why I am particularly interested in the LUDOLF OLDENDORFF has a simple reason.
A fellow model boater in a German RC ship model forum asked me if I could reconstruct a lines plan with DELFTship of this vessel as his late grandpa had served on this ship of which he would like to build a model.
Well, I helped him and created some lines plan out of my imagination with only the assumed main dimensions because we lacked a GA plan.
The result can be viewed in
my posting here,
and his model making efforts so far he has documented in
this thread and in
this one.
Thanks to the guy who raised this old thread here I can now go to the TUB library, get the book, and compare how good or bad my hull lines approximation is.
Rgds
