You Tube Featuring the Engines of Civil War Ironclads

Came across a video clip on You Tube which showed the operation of the "USS Monadnock Trunk Steam Engine in animation form. You can find it by typing in that name.

There are also videos of the engines of the USS Monitor and CSS Virginia.

The Monadnock participated in both Battles of Fort Fisher, taking up a position 1200 yards from the fort and pounding away at the fort's walls with the four other ironclads.

Hey, it was what moved the ships.
