Museum pulls Monitor propeller from shaft
In Newport News Virginia on Tuesday workers saw the 9 foot wide cast iron propeller from the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor removed from its shaft at The Mariners Museum after nearly two years of treatment. The propeller arrived June 12 1998 and was kept in an outdoor tank with water and sodium carbonate while an electric current killed barnacles and drew out salt and seawater residue. Salt buildup could crystallize and crack the propeller hub if not removed.
