Source for a layout drawing of the Duane?

[kidsdream]

I have recently started to do a bit of more technical exploration of the Coast Guard Cutter Duane located off of Key Largo/Tavernier.

Does anyone have a source for the engineering layout drawings of the decks and the work spaces? This is 327 Class ship for reference.


Here is an image of one of our dives last Sunday. My buddy Chris is attaching the line to bollard outside on the deck prior to us entering the ship.

This isn't an "engineering drawing", but you might want to purchase one of these

Art To Media 3D Dive Map Cards

pics from that card, 2nd one is the Bibb, but you might want it also.

Does this help (no purchase required): http://www.indiana.edu/~r317doc/trail/duanept.html

Short of this, you could visit her sistership the USCGC Taney at the Baltimore Maritime Museum.

I had found a smaller version of the same image, but not the actual link. It is exactly what I was looking for.

I have a drawing that has a great deal more detail than the ones posted so far. It's rather large, but I can probably get it copied at Kinkos. Send your address to me and I'll get a copy out to you. It has info on the Second Deck, Platform Deck and the Hold. It was very helpful to me when I was exploring it 20 years ago. It has no information on anything on the Main Deck or above. Are there more entrances into the ship's interior now? The location where you are about to enter the wreck didn't used to take you below decks. All this time, I thought it was a Secretary Class.

All this time, I thought it was a Secretary Class.

The class names are considered interchangeable for WPG-31 through WPG-37 so neither Treasury nor Secretary Class would be considered wrong as they're all named after Secretaries of the Treasury.

Eventually they were reclassified as high endurance cutters once the USCG adopted their own classification system.

Two of them are floating in maritime museums (Baltimore/Taney and Patriots Point, SC/Ingham).
