NOTE: THIS TRAVEL BUG HAS COMPLETED ITS JOURNEY! Thanks to all of you who made it possible, even if it took a lot longer than planned.

I'm writing this is July, 2009. Please do one of two things: 1) keep the TB as a token of my thanks OR 2) return it to me. Email me through the geocaching site and I will give you my address. Thanks again, Honey and the Bear.

To make my way to the new USS Monitor Center at The Mariners’ Museum in Newport News, Virginia in time for the Grand Opening of the Center on the 145th anniversary of my most famous battle against the Monitor. Please get me to Virginia by March 9, 2007.

Historians called the battle a draw. You decide.

About This Item

On March 8 – 9, 1862, I fought in the Battle of Hampton Roads on the James River in Virginia. My formidable opponent was the northern ironclad, the USS Monitor. I am better known as the Merrimack, even though I was converted into the Confederate ironclad, the CSS Virginia.
