Pencil drawing made of the interior of a room on the USS Monitor by Edgar Jones. On the left side of the room is a wall mounted sink with a mirror and shelves above it. Next to it is a rack of hanging clothes. A bunk bed is in the back middle of the room, with chains supporting the top bunk and lights and a vent on the ceiling above it. On the right side of the room is a chair at a folding desk, with upper shelves containing what appear to be hard hats. Toward the back right of the room, next to the bed, is a doorway with a curtain in it. On the bottom left of the drawing are the words "Room 0202 USS Monitor (Lsv-5)" followed by the date "1-21-45."
