Death of Phillip Carson Lee: Participated in the USS Monitor Expedition

From September Legacy.

Funeral services for  Phillip Carson Lee , who passed away September 22, 2021,  were held September 29 at First Baptist Church of Picayune, Mississippi.

As a child, he found a niche n the Mississippi tug boat industry and became a captain.  He was proud to be a part of such companies as Tidewater, Gulf  Fleet, Delta Towing and American Offshore.

The highlight of his career was working alongside NOAA, the Naval Systems Command and the Mobile  Diving and Salvage  Unit  Two and the Wotan barge as support for the Monitor Expedition 2002 in their effort to recover the gun turret of the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor.

A Life Well-Lived.
