The USS Monitor sank in a storm on December 31, 1862.  In 1973 she was discovered.  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been sending scooba divers down to save parts of the USS Monitor for history.  In 2001 they brought up her engine.  In 2002 they brought up her turret.  They wore this shirt in 2001 when her engine was recovered.  See the scooba diver on the shirt carrying the USS Monitor.
