The comment of notes: Want to learn more about Monitor's turret? I made a video from my old channel available here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2HaqGunidCgf7Msi=yWvyOLvzTR1iHK4i This topic is complex as much prefabrication was necessary to complete Monitor in the given 100 days. I avoid details that are commonly given in writings to incorporate as much unknown material as possible. Not all plates and numbers are given in the video for simplicity and time, only major ones. Imagery of Monitor's construction and design are in short supply, I attempted my best to show important parts with what's available.

Great yet again. I hope your 1/350 Taiho is doing exceptional. Take care, and all the best.

Thanks soo much! Until now I was under the impression that Monitor had a wooden hull, because all the information I could find was very sketchy about the construction. Now I see I was wrong, and the drawings make sense! Thanks, again, for you excellent productions, and helping us learn historically important Naval Construction. Love, David

very fascinating, thanks for the video. I also heard that the Monitor was a one off deal, as the other monitors made were quite different looking.

Thank you. Monitor was the only vessel built to its design. Monitor was very simple and designed to be built quickly. The follow-up Passaic class was a heavily reworked design that was stronger and took more time to build.

I’ve always heard the the steel plate for the monitor came from a steel mill in Troy, New York. Alway been curious about that history as I grew up and live nearby.

Multiple iron mills rolled the plates that would be fitted to Monitor. The primary locations were the Griswold iron mill and the Abbott iron mill. There were roughly a dozen locations that rolled the plates, most were in New York for quick transportation of materials.
