Kind of an odd one\*—can anyone point me to a general blueprint/diagram of the [“Soverign Maersk”](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_Maersk)/S-Class container ship?

I mean, I don’t need to know where all the bolts and toilets are—something basic-ish along the[lines of this](http://www.midwaysailor.com/midwaymemorabilia/memory85b.jpg) would do.

Can anyone help me out?  
\*Surprise, surprise, surprise.

What you are looking for is a “general arrangement plan” or “GA plan” or just “GA”. They are highly proprietary and I don’t particularly like your chances of getting one for the _Sovereign Maersk_. I couldn’t find one on a quick Google, but I didn’t try very hard.

[This page](http://forshipbuilding.com/ship-types/container-ship/) has several pictures/plans/drawings of container ships and details.
