LEGO USS Monitor Model at HRNM

As many of you know, the headquarters for the Civil War Navy Sesquicentennial is at the Hampton Roads Naval Museum.  As an educator at the museum itself, one of the tasks assigned to our staff is to hire summertime interns who work in coordination with the education department.  This summer, we seemed to have struck paydirt.  Our two HRNM interns, Samuel Nelson and Jordan Hock, have done a phenemonal job this summer with the creation and execution of various programs, including the debut of the first CWN 150 program Blockade: The Anaconda Plan (Available Soon).

One of the things they have taken up recently is kick-starting a new program here at HRNM, Brick by Brick: LEGO Shipbuilding.  How does this relate to the CWN 150?  One of the models that will be available to build for this program is the USS Monitor created by intern Samuel Nelson (shown here).
