Situated just 16 miles off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, rests the remains of the Civil War ironclad, USS Monitor. The Union's first ironclad battled against CSS Virginia on March 9, 1862, when iron met iron for the first time in history. Although the battle was a draw, naval technology changed forever. Join Shannon Ricles, Education and Outreach Coordinator for NOAA's Monitor National Marine Sanctuary, for an overview of USS Monitor, learning its history, its discovery, and how it became our nation's first national marine sanctuary. Dive below the surface to learn about expeditions to the site, artifact recovery and conservation, and how the remains of two Monitor sailors were found in 2002. Hear the stories of this great ship from construction, to battle, to sinking, to present day, and what the future holds for the Monitor.
