Monterey sailed across the Pacific from California to Manilla. Iron men and ships.

For the drawings itselfes I think they are very good, but which refs. are you using? To my knowledge are the superstructure and the guns on the 1895 version same white as the hull. The white on the hull should also go twice in the dept than you have done it

I'm not going to comment on accuracy, but nice effort. |

Soon there won't be a single big gunned USN ship left. I love it! |

I used to have a framed print of the profile blueprint of this ship. She was built in San Francisco by Cramp & Sons. I believe this was the last class of coast defence monitors built for the USN. |

No, the print I had was a duplicate of a real blueprint - white on a dark blue background. By the way, I was wrong about the builder, it was the Union Iron Works. |
