Santos in the U.S. Navy, during the American Civil War (1864)Petty Officer Santos eyed with obvious suspicion the low black deck of his new ship, a floating battery christened the MONITOR and wished himself back on the honest wooden decks of his beloved NORTH CAROLINA. He wasn't at all sure about this, but when Lieutenant Worden had asked him to volunteer to accompany his shipmates, along with some men from the SABINE, Robert had reluctantly agreed. Change was not new to Robert. When he had first entered the Navy, steam power was still in its infancy, and in the ensuing years Robert, as well as the old salts who remembered the stately frigates, had adapted to the ships that could sail faster against the wind than with it. So maybe this new iron "cheesebox on a raft" would prove a worthy capstone to a long and distinguished career.The Confederate States of America (CSA), commonly known as the Confederation, were established in 1861, announcing their separation (secession) from the Union, ie the United States of America. This event, as well as many others, also of considerable importance, led to the outbreak of the bloodiest war in the history of the United States, known as the American Civil War, which was fought in the years 1861-1865. Of course, both in the North and in the South, when the war broke out, the army began to be built."Series 77 Miniatures" was founded by Pat Bird and John Tassel to produce 77mm size miniatures (hence the company name); with their only fantasy line released around November 1979. John, however, decided to leave Series 77 to devote full time to the now world-famous Lassett Miniatures. In the early 1990s, Pat Bird decided to retire and sold the company however the new management were unable to make the business a success.Your shipment will arrive via USPS Priority Mail (1-4 business days) or USPS Ground Advantage (2-5 business days), after the 2-3 day processing time (upon paid purchase)Shipment(s) sent out of Lemon Grove, California, USAWill be packed very well - READ OUR FEEDBACK!No Returns ***AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT AFTER PURCHASE, WHICH MAY REFLECT A MORE ACCURATE POSTAGE RATE FOR THIS ITEM - DON'T PASS THIS UP YET!
