That Yankee Monitor just sank by itself.

Yeah we didn't need to blow it up to keep it from being captured after running it aground on a marked shoal. Actually the Monitor went down with help from a rather severe storm off of Hatteras, which is not called the graveyard of the Atlantic without reason.

During the storm, the Monitor lost it's smokestack so it lost power. In an effort to turn the ship into the wind, the anchor was let out but the ship was in too deep of water.

The discoverer of the wreck found the anchor chain before he found the ship.

Yeah, I know. We lost (thank God). A house divided cannot stand. Now, we stand together.

Yeah, sinking an unseaworthy vessel in a storm with the crew aboard looks brilliant compared to running it aground.
