The link below is to a short video with film footage and photographs
of the USS Frank E. Evans at the time of the collision. This is neither an endorsement nor a critique of the
video, but anyone interested in the collision may find it interesting. Note the footage of a bow going down - it appears
to have been shot in daylight, and since the Evans' bow sank before 3:30 a.m., we're unsure what that footage
is. Note, you will be routed to a different web page.

a life-size mockup of the Monitor right outside the Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Virginia. Inside, the musuem
is restoring the recovered turret of the civil war ironclad, which was lost in a storm shorlty after the famous Monitor-Merrimac
battle. And to those of you who know me - no, I was NOT on the Monitor's pre-commissiong crew.
