The Two CSS Virginias? And, I'm Not Talking About the CSS Virginia II

I was at a site about the wreck of the famed CSS Virginia, the ironclad that fought the also famed USS Monitor.

The Virginia was scuttled and blown up to prevent falling into Union  hands after the fall of Norfolk.

One comment:

"The site has been so heavily 'salvaged' over the years that a well-known Virginia joke is that if all known  'relics' of the Virginia were put back together, you would have at least two ironclads, maybe more."

Pretty Good One.  --Old B-Virginia X 2
