Lecture - "So Ends This Day": An Illustrated Update on the Life and Times of the USS Monitor, from 1861 to Yesterday By Anna Gib

Although the Union ironclad Monitor may have ended her working career in December 1862, her story does not end there. Discovered in 1973, established as a National Marine Sanctuary in 1975, and the subject of intense recovery operations by NOAA and the U.S. Navy since then, the curious raft still has stories to tell. Anna Holloway brings the Monitor to life in this illustrated presentation by combining log entries, correspondence, letters, and material evidence found in the ship itself.
