Interesting little segment at the end of the NBC 6:00 news tonight (tues)
about an upcoming bill in congress to appropriate money to "save" the
MONITOR. What they have in mind apparently is a plan to raise the turret,
propellor and a bit of the hull, using saturation divers and a habitat
anchored at the site, and costing 22 million dollars!

Then they had Rod Farb on saying it sounded like a incredible boondoggle to him.

 Funny after all the fuss about how those nastly sport divers are going to
ruin the wreck, that the "preservationists" are basically proposing ripping
the thing apart to get a few souvenirs.
