USS Monitor Ironclad Deck Plating & Beam Construction Drawing (Hand Sketch)

This is a hand-drawn pencil and colored-pencil illustration on lined notebook paper, labeled "USS Monitor Decking & Plating." It is not an automotive document; it depicts the deck construction of the USS Monitor, the Civil War-era ironclad warship. The drawing shows an isometric cutaway view of the ship's deck structure: overlapping riveted iron deck plates (shaded blue/gray with rows of rivet heads) laid over longitudinal wooden deck planking, which in turn rests on heavy transverse wooden beams. Handwritten callouts identify the structural timber dimensions: "10"x10" oak" for what appears to be the deck beams, and "7"x14"" (material partially illegible, possibly pine) for the planking layer. The drawing is signed "Johnston." A reader can learn the general layered construction method of the Monitor's armored deck — iron plating over wood planking over oak beams — and the approximate timber dimensions used. The document contains no automotive content, no fuse or wiring data, no part numbers, and no dates. Despite being filed in a 1988 Ford Bronco gallery on SuperMotors.net, this drawing has no applicability to that vehicle; it appears to be a personal historical/model-building reference sketch, part of a set with related files (deck_plates1a.jpg, turr_beams.jpg).
