I did a previous post on Fred Martin, a naval architect working out of mostly Wisconsin at the turn of the last century. Here are a couple of Fred Martin drawings illustrating a completed frame for a 32 foot clipper hull. The frame is about to be knocked down for transport to another shop for reassembly and sheathing at another shop and I assume the drawings are an assembly aid. Seems a lot of extra labour, but it must have made sense in the circumstances.
I do like the typical hull layout drawing shown below. Everything a guy would need to build it I guess, but I don't have the translation skills to really understand them, even if I wanted to build one.
