Características

The Monitor and The Merrimac is a collection of first-hand accounts of one of the most famous naval engagements in history: The Battle of Hampton Roads. It was here that ironclad warships fought for the first time, bringing in the end of the era of the wooden warship. As H. Ashton Ramsay, Chief Engineer of The Merrimac said, And now the great fight was on, a fight the like of the world had never seen. With the battle of yesterday old methods had passed away, and with them the experience of a thousand years of battle and of breeze was brought to naught. This edition is reprinted from the 1912 edition, enhanced with images of the ships, the battle, and the men who fought for each side, creating a complete depiction of the battle that changed naval warfare forever.
