Earth cam on a very large scale scratchbuild

USS Monitor

NB only worked for me when I hit the Enlarge button

Way cool link, David!
Thanks for sharing, mate! Right into the favorites file...

I don't know if it's due to any firewall at work but all I get is a "live cam loading" message. I tried for half an hour but nothing. I'll have to try this at home.

It sounds like a great idea, making a full scale replica of her, and using the pieces they've recovered so far.

Me too, I thought it was a server issue. Hitting 'enlarge' should get you round it (I hope )

Yep, that did it. Thanks.

I got it. They look to be standing around chatting. :-)

Interesting project though.

Took several tries, kept getting a "plug in error", but eventually worked, although it must have been lunch or break time since I didn't see anything or anyone moving.....

This is surely a place to visit to see some really outstanding ship models.

I didn't see anyone doing anyth9ng eaither and it was around 4PM eastern time. Maybe they're all inside doing stuff there. Anyway, I like the concept of building a life sized replica and adding all orignal parts available you can. Sort of a restoration have you.

If you're ever in the Hampton Roads area, the Mariner's Museum is a MUST visit. I've been going there since I was about 6 and everytime I get a chance I go back.

My brother in law now lives a very pleasant 3/4 mile walk from the Museum, and my son and I had a great visit over Christmas vacation, to include a tour of the under construction building you can see off to the right in the photos.

Several of the actual artifacts are also on site and are in the process of having the effects of 140 years of being submerged in salt water being removed.

When this exhibit is done it's going to be awesome.

I had a look at some of the artifact pages yesterday and even small things can evoke the hellish conditions endured by the crew.

Check the temperatures recorded by one of the crew and recounted in this item on an engine room thermometer
