Information from a recent contact has increased and refined this collection and yielded more information:
They acquired large blueprints from a man who had worked at Bethlehem Shipyards during the years of WWII up until he retired in 1980. They went through these blueprints in 1993 and put them back in the tube where they've been ever since. His family worked at Union Iron Works with Emile in the 19th Century before His death in 1904 and it became Bethlehem Shipyards in 1905.
