You ought to be across the river when they fire the Brooke, it can be heard for miles.
With the width, length, thickness and countersunk holes, it certainly looks like it could be.I am glad you mentioned that. I wasn't sure what that was.
Like you I try to read as much as possible but tend to photograph anything and everything to read at a later date.Don't know about anyone else but I usually cannot read all the stuff in places like that in one visit. After awhile my eyes start to cross and my brain goes on information overload. I just do the best I can and read as much as I can but still enjoy myself.
You're welcome. Recovered remains of the USS Monitor are on display at the Mariners' Museum in Newport News,VA.Thanks for those photos! Other than the gunboat Cairo, I didn't realize that there were other remains of ironclad vessels in museum settings.
