Monitor Monument in Mount Moriah Cemetery

P8120623 From my summer travels, here's a picture of the grave of William H. Rowland (1847-1926) who served on the Minnesota, which was present during  the Monitor's battle with the Merrimac during the Civil War. It's in Mount Moriah Cemetery in west Philadelphia.  I'll post some more about Mount Moriah down the road; it's a pretty interesting story of neglect and resurrection (if I may be permitted to use such a term in regard to the community's treatment of a cemetery).

 Following up on this post, here's another view of the Monitor Monument. P8120622

    Al, what a great memorial! It reminded me of a very moving memorial that Marife and I saw in Jerusalem that paid tribute to about 160 Israeli sailors who died in a sunken submarine. This one was like a submarine but you could walk inside it. It gave you an ery feeling once you were within, yet it was tranquil. I have never seen another memorial in a cemetery that enabled a visitor to physically interact by entering a construct and get a fleeting experience of the lives of the deceased.

    Thanks — I'm going to put up some more photographs of Mount Moriah in the next couple of days. Pretty exciting cemetery.

    I thank thee that I am none of the wheels of power but I am one with the living creatures that are crushed by it.
