I am interested in drawings either dimensioned or scaled of the “Bridge deck, the overall hull and the standing / running rigging of HMS Endurance, does anyone know where they could be found?
Thank you

Do you mean the Endurance (without HMS), barquentine of Ernest Shackleton?
Originally a norwegian ship, she was (as I remember, privatly owned....
 
Yes, I am referring to Earnest Shackleton’s ship, the three masted Barquentine that was built in Sandefiord, Norway in 1912 and sank in the Weddell Sea in 1915. I would like to carve a model of it but the only dimensions I can find on the internet is the length 144 ft. (44m) and the beam 25 ft. (7.6m)

Uwe,
You helped me out before, I hope you can do it again; I saw where you told someone that there are Ship's Plans for "HMS Terror" on Wikipedia that can be downloaded, could you please send me a link to do that or explain in detail how I would do that (I am not good with computers).
Thank you
Jim Maguire
 
Here are the HMS Terror drawings at the NMM


and maybe the HMS Erebus could be also interesting for you
