Crowninshield "Pup" Class

Anyone have any information on this design. The boat is question was built around 1918 and is very similar to the Dark Harbor 17. I have drawings from the Museum in Mass.

Damn... I've been hoping somebody would chime in here. Never heard of this design myself, but I'd like to know more now! Anybody near Salem?

The Peabody Museum maritime department holds the Crowninshield plans, but right now they are in a rebuilding mode and all that stuff is stored and hard to get at. Last time I went looking for a drawing there I had to go through a card file with little information on the cards and pick a few likely subjects. Hopefully they have it better catalogued now, but I know that is a job being done by volunteers (when the construction is over). I can enquire for you if you have a request. All of those designs that I have looked at look wonderful to me.
