About this title

Synopsis

Before it was sunk off Cape Hatteras during the Civil War, the Yankee ironclad ship the USS Monitor revolutionized naval design. Written by a member of the team that discovered the wreck in 1973, this text describes the efforts of the recovery team to save her artifacts. Marine geologist Sheridan also explores the history of the ship, including her construction, her successful battle with the Merrimac in 1862, and her sinking later that year.
