Does anyone know who would have the archives from the old Bay Shipbuilding?

I am trying to get my hands on a set of drawings for a future build.

I tried the Great Lakes archives at Bowling Green St University but they do not have any Bay Shipbuilding drawings.
 
Bay shipbuilding is still in business. There are two major Maritime Museums in Wisconsin. Both are near Sturgeon Bay:

One on Sturgeon Bay (I don’t remember the name)
The Wisconsin Maritime Museum, Manitowoc, WI

Not a museum, the University of Wisconsin, Superior Branch has a large collection of documents related to Great Lakes Shipping

Also try the Green Bay Branch of the University.
