The Monitor was an ironclad ship created by the Union to battle against the Confederate ironclad called the Virginia (Merrimack).
The ironclad was a remarkable invention during the time of the Civil War. With the iron covered hulls, and the roof mounted cannons, they were thought indestructible. With this new ship added to the Civil War, sea battles became as important as land battles such as Gettysburg.
The Confederates had a ship called an Ironclad (one of the inventions of the Civil War) and this Ironclad ship was called the Merrimac. If you don't trust this answer then don't blame me, because that's what we learned in school.
The Union Ironclad ship was the Monitor. The Confederate ship was the Virginia.
