EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in naval warfare. The image showcases the crew of the original Monitor, an ironclad warship commissioned by the United States Navy during the American Civil War. Designed by Swedish engineer John Ericsson, this groundbreaking vessel was launched on January 30th, 1862. The photograph depicts a group portrait of sailors dressed in uniform, standing on deck with a gun turret in the background. These brave men were part of history's first-ever battle between two ironclad warships, known as the Battle of Hampton Roads on March 9th, 1862. The USS Monitor played a pivotal role in revolutionizing naval technology and tactics. As the prototype for future monitor class warships, she paved the way for modern naval warfare. This iconic image serves as a testament to their courage and dedication. Preserved within this private collection and now made available through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, this photograph offers viewers an intimate glimpse into one of America's most significant military achievements. It stands as a reminder of our nation's rich maritime heritage and honors those who served aboard this legendary vessel during such turbulent times in our history.
