Signalman Petty Officer First Class (DV) Ronald Fontes assigned to Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit-ONE, Pearl Harbor, HI, enters the wreck site of the USS Monitor to clear debris from the engine room so the engine can be rigged for removal. The divers are working from the Derrick Barge WOTAN, the main support vessel for Phase II of the Monitor 2001 expedition, the sixth NOAA-Navy expedition to preserve the historic vessel. The ship went down off the coast of Cape Hatteras, NC, in 1862 during a severe storm.
