Good morning to all our readers. We’ve been very busy in the Batten Conservation Complex inside the USSMonitorCenter over the past few weeks preparing to drain USSMonitor‘s 90,000-gallon revolving gun turret treatment tank for assessment.
Well guess what? The tank is now drained andMonitor‘s gun turret is visible in the open air for the first time in over three years. The excitement in the lab is palpable, and we have an ambitious two-week (July 27 – August 7) work window within the lab.
