What is the best source for detailed shipbuilder plans, those more concise than the often erroneous deck plans found in brochures?

The lines use to produce very detailed deck plans complete with furniture placement in cabins as well as public rooms. I have several issued from the 1940s through the early 1980s and the detail is amazing on some. Cunard issued one for QE2 in the early 1970s that is very detailed but those types of plans seem to be no longer produced by the cruise lines.

The only shipbuilder's plan I have is the one of Queen Mary that came in the Phaidon Press book "RMS Queen Mary". I prefer these because they show things related to the boilers, engine room... - those not shown even on detailed passenger deck plans.

Ernst, are you sure the Associazione Navimodellisti Bolognesi have plans for merchant ships? I know they are well known for plans of Italian naval vessels. Maybe they have contacts.

They are my "only" source of passenger ship plans (not only Italian, also some contemporary passenger ships) - usually you get the general arrangment plan and a body plan with a side elevation. Ausonia, Andrea Doria even had a cutaway view.
The only yard where I got plans from was Seebeck. (Royal Viking Star)

Has anyone proper plans of the Crystal Harmony? I have some stuff of the Symphony (e.g. from Design), and aboard the Crystal Harmony I only got a small side elevation of the Symphony - but nothing about Crystal Harmony.
