What happened to the Monitor and the Merrimack?
The USS Monitor was the first ironclad built by Ericsson for the Union Navy. The USS Merrimac was a steam ship that was in dock in the Norfolk shipyards when the Confederates captured the city. It was burned to the waterline.
How were the Merrimac and the Monitor different from other ships of their time?
They were called ironclads because instead of being made entirely of wood, they had metal sheeting over the top of the ships. The Monitor looked more like a submarine than a ship.. The "deck" was barely above the water and it had a round turret that could swivel and fire a cannon. The other ship was named The Merrimac and looked as if a regular wooden ship had a metal tent across the decks. It also had cannons. Both ships saw action in the American War Between the States. They fought each other in March of 1862 and neither ship won. But since the Union Monitor prevented the CSA's Merrimac from running the Union blockade of Hampton Roads, Virginia, the Monitor is considered the winning side. The Merrimac was not intended to run the Union blocade, but to ruin the Union blockade by destroying the Union warships so the blocade runners could travel to the CSA from Europe unopposed. The Union had five warships at Hampton Roads, and the Merrimac destroyed two of them before the Monitor arrived to defend the third ship. As another difference, the French and British navies each had an ironclad before the war began, but they had sails in addition to steam power. The Monitor and Merrimac were the first major warships powered by steam only. The US Navy specified sails for the Monitor, but John Ericsson ignored the specification.
