The “wrong side” was the United States Navy.
It was the Monitor class Ironclad USS Tecumsa (sp?) that was sunk in the Battle of Mobile Bay—not the USS Monitor—that went down in a storm.
Yes, I knew that.
I was asking if anyone remembered an article about the original USS Monitor and it being found a few years ago.
“Monitor” was also a generic name for that particular type of gunboat, correct?
