Federal Recognition for the Greenpoint Monitor Museum
From the May 9, 2015, Greenpoint (NY City) Gazette by Tanay Wererkar.
The museum is moving toward recognition and its possible museum. This is the site where the famous warship USS Monitor was built in a hurry in 1862.
On may 29th, the NOAA will unveil a Monitor Trail marker at land along East Pier which is the proposed site of the Monitor Museum. The Monitor Trail will have markers at different points associated with the ship. Other areas include where the parts for the ship were made as well as it where it fought the famous battle of the ironclads in March 1862 against the CSS Virginia.
Greenpoint is where the ship was launched at the end of Quay Street.
