Ship notebooks: now includes references found in response to Internet inquiries.
Ship plans (for model makers): Probably the quickest and cheapest way of finding ship plans is to go to back issues of one of the commercial shipping magazines, e.g., Motor Ship, The Shipbuilder, Shipbuilding & Shipping Record. These have all included articles about "important" new ships; descriptions, photographs and General Arrangement drawings, and the magazines (usually) published indexes of contents, annually.
To find which maritime libraries hold which magazines, go first to Library holdings of maritime periodicals on this website; you will find a list of "holding libraries" opposite each magazine title. To find the addresses of the appropriate "holding libraries", go next to Maritime Libraries & Archives ; these libraries should be able to tell you whether or not they have the issue of the magazine that you require, and how much they might charge you to have photocopies of (any) plans made.
Ship plans (alternatively): Simply key the terms "ship plans" into your Internet search engine; there are pages of websites giving access to information about ship plans. For example, try the (British) National Maritime Museum (Greenwich):
