Monitors Underwater Hull Holes Suggest Depth Likely Prevented Raising
Archaeologists report three large deck holes on the Civil War ironclad Monitor lie 220 feet beneath 16 miles south of Cape Hatteras. NOAA officials say the damage likely occurred when depth charges or bombs dropped by U S submarines in World War II. The wreck site near Monitor has been a federal sanctuary since 1973. Engineers will assess the new data before any attempt to raise the vessel.
