USS Monitor Steam Engine built by Ray HasBrock
« on: June 16, 2026, 01:45:00 pm »
Hello All
Need some help in Locating Ray Hasbrock's model of the USS Monitor Steam Engine and thought
someone here may know it's location or where abouts.
The Mariners Museum in Newport News Virginia has the real engine recoverd from the depths
of the Atlantic 25 years ago  and are restoring it. They called me and asked me about the model
since I was a friend  of Ray when he was with us.
I know his estate models were sold at the Cabin Fever Auction in Pennsylvania about 10 years ago, including
his Monitor Engine .
can anyone point me in the direction of who to contact, or have you seen the model recently ?

here is a pic that ray sent me 20 years ago
Thanks for any help !

Rich

I would be willing to bet that Gil will know who has this amazing Gem now, but I think he is away at the Cool Springs Hot Air Engine Expo show, so may not be able to respond right away?!?!
