Cool program on the Monitor!

Aladar Pilot	posted 10-26- 08:54 PM No, not the thing your staring at, the Civil War Ironclad Monitor! Very interesting show! Did you know that the monitor was the first ship to have flushing toilets? And get this, he didn't call it a ship either, he called it a "Sub-aquatic system of naval warefare!" But, if you've seen pictures of its hull, you know that it only rises about a few inches or so above the water line. And because of this the thing sank in a storm!. I just love watching/reading about ships that sunk and were redescovered! IP: Logged
