Dismantling Monitors Yields Fraud and Heroic Endurance
Edward Kelley recalls the Charlestown navy yard graft during Civil War era dismantling of monitors. He oversaw removal of engines and inventory sold as junk with costly paintings and furniture resold. Kelley lost a leg in the accident, while Harvey Flagler of Continental Oil aided him and his injured coworkers. Kelley later sued the monitor company, winning judgment after delays and ship removal to Europe.
