It's a wonderful resource. Hope all's well by you
This is a great website indeed, there is a difference between the images for the pre-1945 ships and post-1945 ships. Post-1945 ships can be viewed as thumbnail and a larger image. Pre-1945 drawings can be viewed as thumbnail, a larger image, and can be zoomed in, so you will see tiles from a mosaic. Downloading all the tiles and glueing them together will take a lot of time, but it can be done if you're very patient

With a special tool called "Digipeer Downloader" you can down download all the tiles and have them glued together automaticly, so at the end you'll have full sized scans. As said, the tool only works for the pre-1945 ships.

The tool should be available on the internet, if not, send me a pm

Sample: this is a randomly choosen tugboat as you can download it straight away



this is a 940 x 686 image (83 Kb), the image downloaded with "Digipeer Downloader" measures 3841 x 2817 (12,9 Mb)
