a single-turret seagoing monitor modeled on the Passaic Class
About this creation

This vessel is a single-turret seagoing monitor
modeled on the Passaic Class.

The model is 3 1/4 feet long (1 meter)


Of course the "real" Texas Navy never had an ironclad or monitor. But, in my alternate history Texas Navy in LEGOs, I have John Ericsson leading the Naval Weapons Development, and that's how we have a monitor (err legitor) 15 years early!

The story behind the alternate history of my Texas Navy in LEGOs is here.

The story and build behind the two large guns is here.

The RTS Legitor is in my Kurt's ship MOCs eurobricks pirate forum thread.
