From the Dec. 11, 2012, Virginian Pilot.
The Monitor National Marine Sanctuary will dedicate a memorial to the USS Monitor and its crew at a 2 PM ceremony to be held at the Hampton National Cemetery.
This commemorates the 150th anniversary of the ship's sinking on the night of December 30-31st, 1862.
And, I imagine a fortunate group of successful bidders will spend some time in the turret where it is undergoing preservation.
