It had to be hell to be inside that thing. The smoke from your guns and the sound of the balls hitting that turret.

I was just watching the Ken Burns Doco The Civil Wat last night. They said any man who willfully went in one was insane as it easily topped 100 degrees. one half of this image is on The Naval Historical Center page for her www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-m/monitor.htm View on deck looking forward on the starboard side, while the ship was in the James River, Virginia, 9 July 1862. The turret, with the muzzle of one of Monitor's two XI-inch Dahlgren smoothbore guns showing, is at left. Note dents in turret armor from hits by Confederate heavy guns and crewmembers atop the turret. Officers at right are (left to right): Third Assistant Engineer Robinson W. Hands, Acting Master Louis N. Stodder, Second Assistant Engineer Albert B. Campbell (seated) and Acting Volunteer Lieutenant William Flye (with binoculars). This photograph forms a stereograph pair with Photo # NH 2780. U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph

Fascinating, especially to gain a sense of scale of the famous ship.
