Heard today that PBS is rearing "Lincoln's Secret Weapon", i.e., the USS Monitor, on 10 July. (I missed it when Desoto Joe mentioned it last October - better luck this time.) There's a companion web site at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/monitor/ which gives you an opportunity to take a virtual "tour" of the ship, and has letters by William Keeler, acting paymaster aboard the Monitor, describing the ship's battle with the CSS Virginia.

In Missouri, it will be on Nova, Tuesday night. If anyone missed this, it is worth tuning in. Desoto Joe/The Record Man
