@indyme2 Thanks!! Diving to the Monitor is very special and i'm fortunate to be able to share that. D

Hmm, i didnt remember that the monitor sunk, so im asking, when?

[ValeoFilms]

@TrainingArena555 December 31, 1862 she was being towed around Cape Hatteras when a storm sunk her. The story is amazing.

will she ever be resurfaced?

[vv55sst]

Seems very unlikely. The wreck is now a tangle of metal and wood with nothing to hold it together. They might bring up a few more pieces, but lifting the whole wreck would not be feasible.

@vv55sst 987tons will not be coming out of the water any time soon!

[TyLiermann]

@swayer556 They've done it with many WWII Subs. However the Monitor is most likely too fragile for conventional salvaging techniques.

@vv55sst too true.  let the old girl lie where she is.
