This incomplete drawing set is of the USS
Trathen, DD-530. Dan Sedgwick '55-59 was the person who actually got the drawings from Mare Island.
The sections were scanned from a full size drawing
reduced 50% as the first copy. That copy was then copied and cut into
the outlined segments and scanned at 300dpi. Each segment was then
cleaned up for bleed over light and speckles. After the clean up
they were converted to .jpg format. The file sizes are quite large and
may take a while to load for dial-up viewers, but it was necessary to be
able to show the detail that made them interesting.
Let your mind fill in the blanks. This hull layout is very similar to the Stoddard. This was really fun to do as well and reflect on these places around the ship.
