I am on hiatus...
3 years here...
2 years paid charter.
And no closer to... heh
Time is hard to just "give".
Will stop in periodically to this thread...
So if "likes" are slacking... I will get to em at some point.
If it gets slack here... I will fade as well.
Best.

AARC - you've done so well, appropriate the efforts here...!
Have a good time, by the way!

Civil war photo of the USS Monitor's ironclad deck and turret, showing dents in the turret's armor, made by Confederate shells fired by the CSS Virginia (a.k.a. Merrimack), in the famous "first battle between ironcald warships," March 9, 1862. The USS Monitor sank in a storm at sea off Cape Hatteras NC on December 31, 1862.

Most of the wreck of the Monitor has been recovered, and while several websites review the recovery of the wreck, but importantly, they give the history of the ship, the crew, and its battles - all part of the story of the Civil War...!
So, here's a good read, and you can see a bunch of pictures, too, etc

The largest cannon of the civil war era which "saw duty" (but not combat) was a 20-inch caliber Columbiad smoothbore cannon mounted at New York City's harbor defense fortifications. Among its ammunition were Solid-Shot cannonballs weighing approximately 800 pounds. A few shots were fired for practice, and one 20-inch Solid cannonball went farther than intended, utterly destroying the wharf it hit, then continued rolling inland causing further destruction.

Key West Wild Chicken

Mmmm... wild chicken...

Civil war photo of several 6.4-inch caliber ("100-pounder") Parrott Rifle cannons, and some of their 100-pound projectiles in two rows along the log wall, in a River Defense fortification, probably at Washington DC at the Potomac River, or at the James River during the siege of Petersburg VA. I'm guessing it is not a seacoast location, due to the hill and tall pine trees. The projectiles are "armor-puncher" Solid-Shot ammunition, which would be used against an armored warship, not infantry... so it must be a River Defense fortification.
