The Ship Archive is an online archive of historic ships throughout the ages. To help bring these great ships to life, the Ship Archive is creating general arrangement plans for selected vessels so the reader can more fully understand how these ships operated and how the individuals lived and worked onboard.
The Leviathan, early 1930s
The Ship Archive focuses on historic warships and merchant vessels from the early 1900s to the end of WWII. This is when ships reigned supreme, transporting passengers and cargo between the world's nations before the airplane came of age, and warships relied on lookouts to spot enemy vessels before engaging in battle.
