This all started with an article about a watch given to Alban Stimers by the U.S. president for his work on the USS Monitor and other monitors that is still in possession of his great-granddaughter. Alban Stimers is buried in Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. As part of RoadTrippin' I also take a look at others buried there.
Here is another one buried there and with a Civil War connection (even a monitor one).
