Armoured Firing Submarine Warship

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic moment when the Union ironclad warship, The Monitor Weehawken, successfully captured the Confederate iron-clad ram Atlanta (formerly known as the blockade-runner Fingal). The intense battle took place on Wassaw Sound in Georgia on June 17th, 1863. Engraved by Allen Irwin and featured in Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, edited by Robert Underwood Johnson and Clarence Clough Buel, this illustration beautifully captures the ferocity of this naval encounter. The image depicts The Monitor Weehawken firing upon its formidable opponent with precision and determination. Amidst a backdrop of smoke and chaos, these two mighty vessels clash in a struggle for dominance. This historical event marked an important turning point in Du Pont's attack at Charleston during the Civil War. Julian Oliver Davidson masterfully brings this scene to life through his engraving technique. As we gaze upon this artwork from our private collection, we are transported back to a time when flags flew high and battles were fought with unwavering bravery. This print is not just a testament to technological advancements in warfare but also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during one of America's most turbulent periods. It stands as an enduring symbol of resilience and valor that should never be forgotten.
