"Naval Conflict in Hampton Roads -- Action between the Monitor & Merrimac"


Engraving after a painting by Alonzo Chappel, representing the battle between USS Monitor and CSS Virginia in Hampton Roads, Virginia, on 9 March 1862. Published by Johnson, Fry & Co., New York, in 1862, this depiction is rather inaccurate in scale and detail.
