I went down to the Newport news museum and looked at the ruins of the Monitor. It is underwater in tanks that are supposedly supposed to remove the rust and protect it from further damage. It isnt recognisable as a ship or much else,It seems like a lot of money for what little will remain when its all done. I am all for retoring historical items when they are restorable , but sometimes these things are better left where they are. Especially when they are the graves of Seaman. Just think someday someone may get the bright idea to raise the Arizona.
I dunno, I always kind of lumped "eaten by worms" and "rotted away" as synonymous.
