This is magnificent! Youve really captured the monitor look well.
I love the turret (and the guns, of course). Really impressed with the tackle
for the boats too.
Is there a wheel? (I couldnt spot one, but my knowledge of such vessels is
sketchy).
And that expanse of deck is to be envied.

The ships wheel was below deck in the engine room, see photo NH 59444:

The observer in the armored pill box on top of the turret. Would callout info
down to the Captain who would order the engine room...
