War, Technology, and Experience Aboard the USS "Monitor" Paperback - 2000

by David A. Mindell


From the publisher

The USS Monitor battled the CSS Virginia at Hampton Roads in April, 1862. This text explores how mariners - fighting blindly beneath the waterline - lived and coped with the metal monster they called the iron coffin. Combining technical, personal, administrative and literay analysis, David Mindell examines the experience of the men aboard the Monitor and their reactions to the thrills and dangers that accompanied the new machine.

First line

About an hour's train ride south of London, one can visit today the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, the centuries-old home of the Royal Navy, now an impressive museum.
