I saw the USS Monitor two weeks ago in the Mariner's Museum and took about 300 pics. That museum ranks up there in my top 3 museums to see! I was in VA on business, and knew I wouldn't be back anytime soon. Highly recommend to go see and do. The USS Monitor is only one facet of the place and has a lot more to offer. P. |

The book: "Monitor: The Story of the Legendary Civil War Ironclad and The Man Whose Invention Changed the Course of History" by James T. De Kay was an absolutely fantastic read. The bureaucracy surrounding it was almost as fascinating as the ships history. |

There is nothing that makes you feel old more than seeing something you own in a museum. That copy of Ironclads does it for me again. This is the second time I have seen that game in a museum. The first time was at the toy museum in Natural Bridge, Virginia. |

Another good book is "The Monitor Chronicles : One Sailor's Account. Today's Campaign to Recover the Civil War Wreck" which is both a collection of letters from the Monitor's third engineer and a description of the modern recovery efforts. |
