150th Anniversary of the USS Monitor's Launch

From the Jan. 31, 2012 Soundings "USS Monitor's 150th anniversary website launched."

The NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries launched a new website Jan. 30th, to commemorate the historic ship's launching in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
http://monitor.noaa.gov/150th.

It will cover the ship's construction, wartime operations through to its sinking Dec. 31, 1862, and then continue on to its 1974 discovery and the ongoing discoveries.
