Navy body burial plan blocked over Timby recall
The House Naval Affairs Committee rejected a move to bring Dr Theodore H Timby s body from Brooklyn to Washington aboard a warship. The decision aligns with Acting Secretary Winthrop s view that using a ship would imply recognition of Timby as the turret inventor for the Monitor. Senators and reform groups had pressed for the act citing Ericsson s Sweden return precedent.
