Monitor's spirit alive under sea on Johnson Sea-Link I
AP reports a four person minisub explored the Civil War ironclad Monitor 220 feet deep off Cape Hatteras, observing battle scars, a reefed hull, and a rumored cat in a gun. The excursion notes the turret, Dahlgren guns, and the 1862 Hampton Roads duel that signaled the end of wooden warships.
