Many people come looking for the original lines, as drawn by Carl Alberg, or the
construction drawings from Whitby Boat Works. I'm sorry to say that I've never been about to find these. The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA has the plans for many Alberg designs, but apparently not the A30. I suspect those plans are forever lost.
These late Bob Johns, who owned Wind Call, #397, provided these higher resolution scans of the
sailplan (149k),

hull plan (301k), and
the

from page 3 of the Whitby brochure
Wes Gardner, owner of Griffin's Faith, #196, provided his trace of the boat profile in
dwg (26k),
pdf (5k), and

South: The Endurance Expedition
Shackleton's near-fatal journey to the Antarctic has received a
lot of press in recent years. This is Shackleton's own account—quiet,
understated, and riveting. It also describes the travails of the Aurora
expedition, intended to lay the groundwork for Shackleton on the other
side of the continent.
