EDITORS COMMENTS
This print commemorates the groundbreaking naval battle that took place on March 9, 1862, in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Known as the "Terrific Engagement Between the USS Monitor with 2 Guns, and the CSS Virginia (aka Merrimac) with 10 Guns," this was the first fight between ironclad ships of war in the American Civil War. The USS Monitor, an innovative Union vessel with a revolutionary armored casemate, faced off against the Confederate CSS Virginia, a former steam frigate that had been re-fitted with an iron armor belt. The battle began when the CSS Virginia, under the command of Confederate Admiral Franklin Buchanan, emerged from the Norfolk Navy Yard and challenged the Union blockade. The USS Monitor, under the command of Union Lieutenant John Marston, responded to the threat and engaged the CSS Virginia in a fierce battle that lasted for hours. The Union forces were determined to protect the vital Hampton Roads harbor and prevent the Confederate fleet from escaping. Despite the CSS Virginia's superior firepower, the USS Monitor's innovative design and tenacious crew proved to be a formidable opponent. The battle resulted in the CSS Virginia being crippled, and the entire Rebel fleet was forced to retreat back to Norfolk. This victory was a significant turning point in the Civil War, as it demonstrated the potential of ironclad warships and marked the beginning of a new era in naval warfare. This print captures the intensity and historical significance of this pivotal moment in American history. The image of the USS Monitor and CSS Virginia locked in combat, with transport ships and other vessels in the background, provides a vivid representation of the naval battle that took place in Hampton Roads on that fateful day in March 1862.
