@er10b For the tree lover here, this ship was coal fired along with most if not all steamers of this time.

One of my ancestors actually provided the iron plates for that.

Beautiful Display, but it is not the model of the USS Monitor Engine.
It is the engine of the CSS Virgina (Merrimack), the Confederate ship that fought with the Monitor in the Civil War.
This model was built by Bernard Denny, a wonderful builder, and resides at the Mariners Museum in Newport News ,Virgina
