>>Another idea could be the production of the Monitor and Merrimac shooting it out in Chesapeake Bay.

I say suh, I do say you must not have had a sufficiency of grits this morning. [g,d&r]

That Yankee cheesebox on a raft, the Monitor, and the valiant Southern ironclad *C.S.S. Virginia* dueled in the mouth of the Chesapeake at Hampton Roads on March 9, 1862. In her previous life, prior to being raised after scuttling by the Yankees, the Virginia had been the decommisioned USS Merrimack.

>>That great rippling water being torn by the blast from a canon. WOW!!

As long as its not accompanied by Cape Canaveral-like smoke. [g]

It is certainly an interesting idea for the Anchor Bay line and agree it probably would sell very well! I too hope they do more lightships - the lighthouse tender is a very good idea.
