Description
The usS. Monitor used to be a completely new form of warship when it launched in 1862. Dubbed “the forefather of the brand new Navy,” this ironclad ship changed how wars are fought at sea. But on New Year’s Eve, 1862, it sank off the coast of North Carolina in a terrible storm. No person thought the Monitor may well be raised, but after 140 years, parts of the ironclad have after all been dropped at the skin. This book chronicles the Monitor’s revolutionary design, exciting battle, and intriguing excavation.
