The general arrangement plan showed a vessel's overall layout. Over one hundred drawings could be required for one ship - even showing details of door hinges. By the late 20th century, hand-drawn plans had been superseded by computer aided design.
This plan shows the steam trawlers Aristea and Crassula. These identical vessels were built for Irvin & Johnson (South Africa) Ltd, Cape Town. Hall Russell built a series of trawlers for Irvin & Johnson, beginning with Disa in 1924 and ending with Stevia in 1973.
