Her resting place is now at the Mariner's Museum in Newport News, Virginia. This is located only a few miles from where the Monitor fought the CSS Virginia in that legendary battle (The Battle of Hampton Roads). The relics of the ship make up the heart of the museum's USS Monitor Center. The exhibit is dedicated to the USS Monitor and the strategies, people, technology and science behind its tale.
