now, this is our robert williams enlistment. when he enlisted, as a comparison, all of the enlistment records rendezvous reports that i examined showed a robert williams, born in wales, who was a boilermaker by trade who signed up in new york for three-year terms. this is the non-robert williams of the "uss monitor." he enlisted on february 15th, 1862, as a first-class fireman with seven years previous naval experience, born about 1832, hazel eyes, black hair, swarthy skin, 5'8 1/2". it's interesting to note that that's the upper possibility for the older man found in the turret. i'm not saying that it is him. but that is the upper range, the mean range being 5'6 1/2". so in 1855, we have a fireman who enlisted with no experience in the navy. he was born about 1829, had hazel eyes, dark brown hair and dark skin. 5'8 1/4". on new year's eve of 1858, which the robert williams of the "uss monitor" would now have four years to live, there was a second-class fireman with three years of experience who was 27 years old, dark hair, dark

i borrowed it from william roberts and his book. that slow asphyxiation, combined with the reduction and the size of the logistic base from which the confederacy could draw supplies for its armies, so isolated lee's indomitable army in virginia that in the end it had no choice but to surrender. almost certainly, the north could have won the civil war without the blockade. but almost as certainly, the blockade made the war shorter, and in doing so, probably saved many thousands of lives. now, this weekend, of course, we observe the attempt southerners made to lift that blockade by employing revolutionary technology. and the union response to that effort in producing an even more revolutionary warship. the union not only matched the south in employing this new weaponry, it then went on to build more than 80 monitors and the blockade remained intact. thank you very much. i look forward to your questions.
