Britain Slowly Recovers After IMF Loan Three Weeks In

Glomar Explorer Could Aid Monitor Recovery Effort
The Glomar Explorer may assist the Union Ironclad Monitor salvage proposed by the Monitor Research Aid Recovery Foundation. Founder John G. Newton seeks funds and volunteers with expertise in geology, metallurgy, and engineering to raise the bronze Civil War era warship, protect it from shifting sands and seismic risk, and develop technologies for recovery.
