Very nice detailing.I can easily imagine taking a walk thru ship.

Am I seeing two toilets in there?I tough Civil War era ships usually had outhouse type of arrangement on top of deck that emptied straight outboard.Did Monitor have full indoor plumbing?

The Monitor was the first ship to have a below the water line flush system...

Thanks friends,
The starboard side vent fan is finished which completes sheet 12 of the instructions.
Next iis the dreaded complexity of the engine.


This is an amazingly innovative ship consider:
Iron clad but also iron framed;
steam engine but coal fired rather than wood;
rotating turret;
11 inch cannon and now (thanks FRD)
flush toilets.
All of this in one ship, amazing.

cheers Jim

For a change of pace now the galley stove.
The space between the main bulkhead and the boilers seems to be the galley.
In my innovation rant I omitted the screw propeller so

I knew Monitor was a whole new thinking in one box,I just didn't think it was that advanced considering very,very limited space in it.Looking at model I think of a Mark I tank with added coal dust.I wonder if that ventilator was enough when ship was in action.

Btw-this is too early for any sort of electrical system present onboard,is it? Were there electrical lights installed or nafta lamps?

Don't know, FRD is the expert. I don't see anything that looks like a generator.
There are skylights in the deck.
cheers Jim

During the recovery expeditions, Jeff Johnston of NOAA told me that they used oil lamps, I can't say with absolute certainty but that's what I was told..

Finally a start on the engine. So complex
Shown is the crankshaft and the two connecting rods.
This is just a dry fit.

The beginnings of the engine. This is the base/frame along with the crankshaft
and the connecting rods. Also the approximate location in the ship.
cheers Jim
