Sea Gull Plans was formed in 1941 by William L. Crothers. The plans were of American Naval and Merchant Vessels of both the Age of Sail and Modern Steel Construction.
In 1935 Mr. Crothers started employment in the Design Division of the Philadelphia Navy Yard( later named the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard). In the same year he joined the Philadelphia Ship Model Society. These two maritime organizations formed his life for the next 37 years until he retired from the shipyard in 1972. His membership in the Philadelphia Ship Model Society, however continued.
With knowledge accumulated over the course of fifty years, he then wrote a book titled "The American Built Clipper Ship, 1850-1856" which was composed to a great degree from data used in the drawing of Sea Gull Plans.
These are, without a doubt, the finest, most detailed and precise plans ever created for the serious modeler. Enjoy!
