The Union ironclad Monitor was designed by Swedish inventor John Ericsson. The Merrimack (also known as the Virginia) was a conventional wooden hull that was converted to an ironclad according to a design prepared by Lt. John Mercer Brooke of the Confederate navy. However, although the 1862 battle between these two ships became legendary, ironclad warships had been used since the early 1850s by the French and British, so the attribute of "ironclad inventor" is unclear.

New Zealand. New Zealand is the only nation almost entirely within the Roaring 40's - the 40+ degree southern latitudes, considered to be the windiest inhabited region on earth next to the furious 50's (that only encompass southern Chile and Argentina). Unlike the northern hemisphere, there are no large landmasses in these latitudes, allowing the winds to move unimpeded.
Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing to do with the latitude or the Coriolis effect. Toilets and sinks drain in the directions they do because of the way water is directed into them or pulled from them. The Coriolis effect is the reason why hurricanes rotate clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. But you need a very large amount of moving air and water for it to take effect.
The Monitor won the "Battle of the Ironclads" between the Monitor and the Merrimack (Northern and Southern ships, respectively).
ANSWER:The battle of the ironclads pitted the Northern Monitor, against the Southern Merrimack in March of 1862.The Monitor proved to the be superior vessel, although neither of the two ships were declared a winner.But, this event marked the first time that ships were fitted with armor for battle.
The southern economy depended largely on agriculture. The northern economy depended mainly on industry as its means of support. This led to the development of two different cultures.

The equator separates the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
The South made plans to construct forty ironclads to act in defense of Southern ports. They were able to build twenty such ships, and they were fit to guard Southern ports but not able to be seaworthy due to their size and shallow drafts.

Baltimore is geographically located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, so it is not definitively classified as a southern or northern city. However, culturally and historically, Baltimore has been more associated with the North due to its role in the Civil War and its industrial development.
Southern Italy was more similar to northern Europe Northern Italy had formed citystates, and southern Italy had not. Southern Italy still had feudalism, while northern Italy did not. Northern Italy had formed citystates, and southern Italy had not.
The northern economy was industrial and focused on manufacturing, while the southern economy relied on agriculture, particularly cotton production. This led to differences in lifestyle, values, and societal structure between the regions, ultimately contributing to the development of distinct cultural identities in the North and the South.
