The Mariners' Museum is located in Newport News, Virginia. Designated as America’s National Maritime Museum by Congress, it is one of the largest maritime museums in North America.
The museum was founded in 1930 by Archer Milton Huntington, son of Collis P. Huntington, a railroad builder who brought the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway to Warwick County, Virginia and who founded the City of Newport News, its coal export facilities, and Newport News Shipbuilding in the late 19th century.
The Mariners' Museum is home to the USS Monitor Center. In 1973, the wreck of the ironclad USS Monitor, made famous in the Battle of Hampton Roads in 1862, during the American Civil War, was located on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean about 16 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The wreck site was designated as the United States' first national marine sanctuary. Monitor Sanctuary is the only one of the thirteen national marine sanctuaries created to protect a cultural resource, rather than a natural resource or a mix of natural and cultural resources.
The Monitor National Marine Sanctuary is now under the supervision of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Many artifacts from Monitor, including her innovative turret, propeller, anchor, engine and some personal effects of the crew, have been brought to the museum. For several years, they were conserved in special tanks to stabilize the metal. The new USS Monitor Center officially opened on March 9, 2007, and a full-scale replica of the Monitor, the original recovered turret, and many artifacts and related items are now on display. Current efforts are focused on restoring the engine.

The water monitor leaves the water and moves towards his den along the lagoon bank. Look at all the junk and debris on the water's edge! Balapitiya, near Galle, Sri Lanka, June 2011.

Just installed the second Ergotron arm for my old LCD monitor (on right). The little white box below it converts the cable TV signal to VGA and handles audio. The monitor itself can flip to DVI input with the press of one button; this shows me my old system, which I can control with the keyboard/mouse through Synergy.

In Singapore, there are 2 species of monitor lizards. Commonly encountered ones are the Malayan Water Monitor Lizards, but if you're lucky enough, you will see the much rarer Clouded Monitor Lizard. This pic was taken on my first encountered with a Clouded Monitor Lizard in Bukit Batok Nature Park.

My old Commodore CRT monitor, discovered deep in the garage closet. I can't
believe this thing still works.

Here are some close-ups of the ironclad USS Monitor, as depicted by floodllama for the Battle of Bricksburg at BrickCon 2015.
Although the photo isn't the best you can clearly see the change of colour from right to left, a blue-white to a yellow-white. The photo was taken straight on.

[ 1023 CPP batch scan 005 ]
These are a few archival examples from my CPP project. I scanned a few last month and planned to choose one for my Flickr post number 1,000, but chose instead to go with a current example. I'm incredibly pleased that the project is active again, so that just seemed appropriate. ^_^
I still have some of the abovementioned CPP scans cluttering my HD, however, so...
This was shot in collaboration with Marc Slanger, the person I first presented my crazy idea to and the first person to work on this project with me. We held two different showings of our photos at the late, great Gandalf's in downtown F-burg, MD (1996 & 1999). NOW if I can just find or somehow obtain digital copies of at least some of those images..... I actually look forward to that, because some were quite good methinks (this was definitely an outtake).
OK. And now for something completely..… familiar. Pasted below is some info RE the experiment, and please feel free to Flickr-mail me w/ any questions:
This is a part of an ongoing & experimental double exposure photo project entitled "Corpse Photo-Poetics (CPP).” It was conceived as a sort of abstraction of the Surrealist game, "Exquisite Corpse."
I still can't locate my formal description of the project (D’OH), but here’s an attempt to succinctly state the simplicity of CPP:
With E.C., partipants divide a piece of a paper into thirds or quaters, choosing, for instance, the human form. Each participant chooses a section of the form to complete, covering their work, leaving only lines to give the next player a starting point for the next section of the piece. The result can be something quite surprising and, sometimes, even good! ;)
I chose to use double exposure photographs. The CPP images have mostly been produced directly in the camera (35mm). With no fixed form in mind, participants grab an image to be integrated with the photograph of another in the camera, and hopefully the result is just as surprising and, sometimes, even good!
Well, thank you for taking a look, reading about this crazy project, & please LMK (again) if you are interested.
(BTW, I want to thank Denim again for giving this monster some new life, and I indeed look forward to seeing what other buried treasure we might find in future CPP rolls! Here is a link to the first photo that I've posted from our collaboration. She posted something today as well! =)

Signalman Petty Officer First Class (DV) Ronald Fontes of 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.

Seen on the banks of a Top End inland river in Australia's Northern Terrritory, is a Mertens' Water Monitor, Varanus mertensi. This one was only about 75cm in total length although they can grown to about 1.1m. Talk about no fear of humans. I had my back to it as I was taking some other shots and nearly stood on the poor thing before a friend told me it was there. Even then it didn't worry about this human invading its space ... one of those feel good encounters with plenty of time to appreciate the markings etc.
Sincere thanks for visiting my Australian nature offerings!
