It was the naval engagement that changed the world. The Monitor and the Merrimac are shown here going at it off Newport News on March 9, 1862, in a print published by W.R. McLaughlin and Co. The 13 1/4 by 16 3/4 inch print has a tear at bottom right. A fascinating contemporary look at the most famous naval engagement of the war.
