Regards, David Minor > I think there is an error on your timeline for 1861-1864. You have >listed for January 30, 1862 that John Ericsson's ironclad, the USS Monitor, >is launched at Greenport, Long Island. Actually, the location of the launch >is Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Long Island. >Sincerely, >James McMann David Minor Eagles Byte Historical Research Rochester, New York 716 264-0423 http://home.eznet.net/~dminor
