Summary[edit]

Description
English: Cape Hatteras, NC (Aug. 5, 2002) -- Personnel from the U.S. Navy, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA), Phoenix International, and the Mariners Museum of Newport News, Va., hoist the gun turret from the sunken Civil War ironclad USS Monitor onto the deck of the derrick barge Wotan. Since its designation as our nation's first marine sanctuary in 1975, the Monitor has been the subject of intense investigation. The turret was the first revolving gun of its kind and will eventually be on public display in the Mariners’ Museum in Newport News, Va. The famed warship sank 240 feet to the ocean floor during a heavy storm off Cape Hatteras on Dec. 31, 1862. Four officers and 12 men were lost.
