Monitor's Engine Raised From Atlantic

Paintthemoon writes: "Naval salvage experts raised the 30-ton steam engine from the Civil War ship Monitor from the bottom of the Atlantic on Monday. The ship had sunk in 1862 while being towed about 16 miles off of Cape Hatteras." The hull of the Monitor, it turns out, is unrecoverable because it's had depth charges and an anchor dropped on it (unrelated incidents), but there are plenty of other pieces still to be brought up and studied.
