John Quarstein and Robert Worden join Dr. Stephen Phillips to discuss their book, From Ironclads to Admiral: John Lorimer Worden and Naval Leadership. This important work is a detailed biography with emphasis on Worden's service on USS Monitor and other ironclads during the Civil War. Equally interesting is Worden's time as Superintendent at the U.S. Naval Academy and as a founding member, with membership number 1, of the U.S. Naval Institute.

After covering the CSS Virginia last week, we take a look at it's enemy this week. The USS Monitor was the Union's first ironclad warship. While it was famous for battling the Virginia at Hampton Roads, unlike the Virginia, the Monitor went on to fight a couple more battles. We will get into the planning and creation of the ship as well as the battles and her demise at sea.  Subscribe to our YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@bangdangnetwork

On this episode, we profile America's first ever ironclad warship, the CSS Virginia. After the Union army had to burn the USS Merrimack when the Confederates took over the shipyard she was at, the Confederates raised what was left of it and used it to build the Virginia. It became most famous for the first ever battle of two ironclads in the world against the USS Monitor at the battle of Hampton Roads.  Subscribe to our YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@bangdangnetwork

Spolupracovník Postoja Andrej Žiarovský a redaktor Lukáš Krivošík rozoberajú námornú bitku na Hampton Roads. Došlo k nej v marci 1862 počas americkej občianskej vojny. Okrem ďalších lodí tu skrížili zbrane dve obrnené lode. Za južanskú Konfederáciu loď CSS Virginia (bývalý Merrimack) a za severanskú Úniu loď USS Monitor. Bitka bola súčasťou širšej stratégie Severu odrezať Juh blokádou pobrežia od jeho námorného obchodu. Monitor sa stal základom celej triedy bojových lodí.

About this episode:  For those aboard the fifty-gun USS Congress, it had been a quiet morning. Its crew, as usual, prepared the twenty-year-old vessel for inspection which would be held the next day. Meanwhile, the ship's quartermaster gazed out over Hampton Roads which glistened under a late winter sun. All seemed normal. And then, at 12:45 p.m., a column of heavy black smoke. Curiosity aroused, the quartermaster turned to a fellow officer, handed him his glass and asked for him to take a look. Their gaze created concern. Indeed, as the quartermaster put it, at last, “that thing is a-comin”. Something no one had ever seen before. Its mission - to change the course of the war. It was Saturday, March 8, 1862, and one vessel, an ironclad, was about to alter centuries of naval warfare. This is the story of technology turning a page. This is the story of the Duel between the Ironclads.                         ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Stephen Mallory John Mercer Brooke John L.

The collection of the Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Virginia, includes a vast art collection, boats from around the world, a first-order Fresnel lens from Cape Charles Lighthouse, and much more. Among the museum's projects has been the conservation of archaeological material from the USS Monitor, the famous ironclad warship built for the Union Navy during the Civil War. The museum is also home to the U.S. Lighthouse Society's research library, known as the Wayne Wheeler Library. Interviewed in this episode is Jennifer Anielski, the librarian of the Mariners' Museum. This episode also includes an interview with Ralph Krugler, the historian for the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse in Florida. St. Augustine Lighthouse in Florida holds occasional Dark of the Moon tours, which focus on the light station's ghostly legends. In this interview, Ralph tells about a very interesting experience he had at St. Augustine Lighthouse. Right: Peter Rasmussen was the longest serving (23 years) of the keepers at St. Augustine. He is a "usual suspect" in the light station's ghost stories.

Dwight Hughes on “Unlike Anything That Ever Floated: The USS Monitor and the Battle of Hampton Roads” For more info: WWW.ChicagoCWRT.ORG The USS Monitor was an ingenious but hurried response to both the imminent threat of the Confederate ironclad, CSS Virginia (ex USS Merrimack), and to the growing prospect of international intervention backed by powerful British or French seagoing ironclads. The United States had no defenses against either menace. This presentation takes Monitor from her inception in the mind of her brilliant inventor through the dramatic first clash of ironclads at Hampton Roads. Dwight Hughes is a public historian, author, and speaker in Civil War naval history. Dwight graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1967 with a major in History and Government. He served twenty years as a Navy surface warfare officer on most of the world's oceans in ships ranging from destroyer to aircraft carrier and with river forces in Vietnam (Bronze Star for Meritorious Service, Purple Heart). Dwight is a contributing author at the Emerging Civil War blog and author of: A Confederate Biography: The Cruise of the CSS Shenandoah (Naval Institute Press, 2015), and Unlike Anything That Ever Floated: The Monitor and Virginia and the Battle Hampton Roads, March 8-9, 1862 (Savas Beatie, 2021) for the award-winning Emerging Civil War series. His new book as editor and contributor, The Civil War on the Water: Favorite Stories and Fresh Perspectives from the Historians at Emerging Civil War (Savas Beatie), is due out in April 2023.

Så var det med det lilla helgonet… Vad vet du egentligen om Alfred Nobel och Nobelfamiljen? Från Alfred Nobels farfars farfar Petrus Nobelius som var med redan vid kröningen av Karl XII 1698, till hans farfars far som var bekant med Carl von Linné, till hans egen far Immanuel Nobel som bland annat tillverkade sjöminor och övriga vapen till den ryske tsaren i mitten på 1800-talet. Alfred Nobel, idag mest känd för dom prestigefyllda prisen, hade ett helt annat rykte under sin levnadstid. Känd under smeknamnet ”dödens köpman”, var han mannen som lyckades stabilisera nitroglycerin och skapade dynamit. Olyckorna under hans forskning var oerhört riskabla och många fick sätta sina liv till, inte minst Alfreds egen bror Emil. Han var känd för att oftast vara väldigt introvert och i princip besatt av forskning och till varje pris tjäna pengar. Vid 9 års ålder flyttade han och hans familj till Ryssland där hans far sedan ett tag tillbaka etablerat affärskontakter. Under denna tid låg Ryssland långt efter i industrialiseringen jämfört med Europa och drivande entreprenörer välkomnades. Flera ryska tsarer, inte minst Peter den store, hade försökt modernisera Ryssland och hinna ikapp. Pågående krig under denna tid, för Rysslands del kanske främst Krimkriget 1853-1856, skapade möjligheter inom krigsindustrin. Familjen Nobel tvekade inte att hjälpa Sveriges ärkefiende Ryssland och samtidigt göra sig en hacka (han var ju trots allt svensk…) Alfreds bröder Ludvig och Robert var även dom väldigt flitiga. 1878 bildade dom Branobel, ett av världens största oljebolag. Nobels finanser växte så mycket att dom blev en av världens rikaste familjer. Det kan vara värt att notera ett par anställda hos Branobel. Karl Hagelin jobbade som ledande ingenjör och blev senare ordförande i bolagets styrelse. Det var hans son Boris Hagelin som var med och skapade krypteringsmaskiner som senare såldes runtom världen för underrättelsetjänsternas avlyssning (givetvis med bakdörrar så att några svenskar även fick vara med på ett hörn…) En annan inte helt okänd person som jobbade vid borrtornen hette för övrigt Josef Stalin… Lite kuriosa kan nämnas att familjen Nobel även hade lite kontakter på andra sidan Atlanten. Dom samarbetade och bytte idéer med en man som hette John Ericsson som konstruerade en pansarbåt vid namn USS Monitor som bidrog till att Nordstaterna vann det amerikanska inbördeskriget. Ibland är det en liten värld… Den 10 december (dagen då Alfred Nobel dog) så delas fredspriset ut till dom som ”bidragit mest till mänsklighetens bästa”. Det finns som bekant fem olika kategorier men fredspriset betraktas av många som den finaste utmärkelsen någon kan få. Alfreds filosofi var att genom att skapa hemska vapen så skulle detta skrämma alla till att till varje pris inte använda dessa och kriga. Ungefär som idag, om inte vi säljer så kommer någon annan att göra det.... De Fria är en folkrörelse som jobbar för demokrati genom en upplyst och medveten befolkning!

In 1862, the ironclad ship USS Monitor fought the Confederacy's CSS Virginia to a draw in the Battle of Hampton Roads, but later sunk during a storm off the coast of North Carolina. Now, 160 years later, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is leading a federal mission to explore and live stream the wreckage of the ship as it rests on the ocean floor. Helming that mission is NOAA  marine archaeologist Tane Casserley. The expedition began on May 15 and will run until May 25 with daily live streams online. Recently, GovExec correspondent and frequent GovExec Daily guest Eric Katz interviewed Casserley about the mission and the ship. In this episode, you'll hear their conversation.

After serving in command on the U.S. Navy's first ironclad, two Civil War heroes and 13 other officers formed a society that continues to shape the Sea Services today.

In Episode 52 we get the long anticipated showdown between the CSS Virginia and USS Monitor.  https://cwweeklypod.wixsite.com/my-site Patreon:                                                                                       https://www.patreon.com/CWweeklypod Venmo:  @Timothy-Patrick-48   --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/civil-war-weekly/support

Episode Notes This week in 1862... After Virginia seceded from the Union, retreating Federal forces scuttled and sank ships in Portsmouth harbor. They didn't want the ships to fall into Confederate hands. But one did anyway. It was the USS Merrimac. Confederate forces raised it from its watery grave. When the Federal navy heard about the new Confederate threat to Union ships, they responded with their own ironclad: the USS Monitor. These two ships were on a collision course for Hampton Roads...

Episode 45 will have General Order Number 1 from President Lincoln, the siege and capture of Fort Henry and the launch of the USS Monitor.   https://cwweeklypod.wixsite.com/my-site Patreon:                                                                                       https://www.patreon.com/CWweeklypod Venmo:  @Timothy-Patrick-48 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/civil-war-weekly/support

“You Are There” is the best radio dramatization I have ever heard. Each show begins with “live” background coverage of the historical event, and then the “on the scene reporters” take over. Everybody knows there were no radio announcers onboard the Nina, Pinta, or Santa Maria, (or from Ancient Greece, Medieval France, or the Battle of Gettysburg either!) but you will be transported back in time anyway as the show “broadcasts” from the ships, the shore, and from Spain. The dialogue is very believable, historically accurate, and very much in character. It is apparent that the producers of this show did their homework! Let's listen to the announcer now…”CBS take you back to 1492. All things are as they were then, except for one thing: when CBS is there, You Are There! You Are There is based on authentic historical fact and quotations, and now, on to our story.” ...... The significance of the encounter between the USS Monitor and the CSS Merrimack (renamed the Virginia following the Confederacy's decision to secede) was the fact that it represented the first clash of ironclad naval vessels in history. Previously, warships were constructed of wood. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution and the transformation in manufacturing techniques, designs for metal ships emerged, with the Monitor and Merrimack being among the first such ships built. The Merrimack had been successfully inflicting considerable damage on northern shipping, prompting the dispatch of the Monitor to confront it. That encounter occurred on March 8-9, 1862 off the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. The arrival off Hampton Roads of Monitor succeeded in relieving the wooden-hulled northern ships, especially the USS Minnesota, and the battle that ensued between the two ironclads ended in a draw, neither succeeding in inflicting much damage on the other. The encounter would be the only such clash between the two opposing vessels, but the uniqueness of the confrontation precipitated a rush among navies in Europe to emphasize iron over wood in the construction of their warships.

On January 30, 1975, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) designated the wreck of the USS Monitor as the nation's first national marine sanctuary. Over 45 years later, Monitor National Marine Sanctuary continues to protect this famed Civil War ironclad. With over four decades of protecting and preserving our nation's maritime heritage, Monitor National Marine Sanctuary and partners began in 2008 to document and survey the many World War II shipwrecks surrounding the sanctuary. Currently, NOAA is reviewing the sanctuary's boundaries and considering an expansion to protect these wrecks. Off the coast of North Carolina lies the remains of a forgotten World War II battlefield that serves as the final resting place for nearly 1,700 men lost during the Battle of The Atlantic. From January through July of 1942, German U-boats sank ships off the American east coast with relative impunity. This American Theater of World War II was the closest area of conflict to the Continental United States. This complex naval battlefield stretched from New England into the Gulf of Mexico, but the area off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, emerged as a strategic hotspot for this activity and the resulting concentration of shipwrecks is unparalleled in the nation. From this activity, the waters off North Carolina are recognized as the area that best represents this World War II history as a battlefield in the United States. In just three years, from 1942 to 1945, 90 ships were lost off North Carolina alone as a result of this action. The result is an amazing collection of 78 merchant tankers and freighters, eight Allied warships, and four German U-boats resting on the seabed as a memorial to this history and to the sacrifice of Allied servicemen and the U.S. Merchant Marine in World War II. Monitor National Marine Sanctuary's proposed expansion boundaries contain the most publicly accessible collection of World War II shipwrecks near America's shore and would constitute the largest area designated as a World War II battlefield anywhere in the United States. This area is also significant to our national story as it contains other shipwrecks as well, some dating from the Age of North American Exploration to present day. While North Carolina has a rich and diverse maritime heritage, NOAA's primary focus for expanding the Monitor National Marine Sanctuary boundary is centered on North Carolina's collection of shipwrecks from World War II's Battle of the Atlantic.

This week at In The Past Lane, the American History podcast, we take a look at one of the most perilous moments during the American Revolution: The Newburgh Conspiracy of 1783 that threatened to plunge the new republic into civil war. That is until George Washington intervened and defused the would-be revolt among officers of the Continental Army.   And we also take a look at some key events that occurred this week in US history, like the 1862 battle between the ironclads USS Monitor and CSS Virginia and FDR’s first fireside chat in 1933. And birthdays, including March 10, 1867 - progressive reformer and nurse Lillian Wald March 12, 1922 novelist and poet, Jack Kerouac March 15, 1767 - the seventh President of the United States, Andrew Jackson Feature Story: George Washington Defuses the Newburgh Conspiracy On March 15, 1783 – 237 years ago this week - Gen. George Washington arrived at Newburgh, NY, which was the winter quarters of Continental Army. A peace treaty with England had yet to be signed, but combat between American and British forces had ended sixteen months earlier in October 1781 with the British surrender at Yorktown. But the mood among the men and officers was decidedly not celebratory. They were angry at Congress for not paying them and for providing poor provisions. They felt disrespected and ignored by the national government. But Washington had not come to Newburgh to cheer them up. He had come to thwart a scheme that threatened to destroy the young republic that had just earned its independence.  One of the key figures in that scheme – what came to be called the Newburgh Conspiracy - was Major John Armstrong, aide de camp to Washington’s chief rival, Horatio Gates. Five days earlier, Armstrong had issued an inflammatory address in which he said the time for politely pleading with Congress to fulfill its obligations to the army had come to an end. The officers of the army, said Armstrong, should issue an ultimatum. If Congress did not act, the army would either disband, leaving the nation vulnerable to renewed British attack, or it would refuse to disband once a peace treaty had been signed. This latter option was a thinly veiled threat of a military coup. When Washington learned of Armstrong’s address and talk of mutiny among the officer corps, he sent a message urging the men to keep their cool and not do anything rash. He sympathized with the men and understood their anger, but he also feared that any unauthorized action could lead to civil war and the end of the American republic. Washington, like most of the Founders, knew that many revolutions in history were followed by a civil war, as the factions that had united against a common foe turned on each other. To defuse this perilous situation, Washington called a meeting of the officers at Newburgh for March 15 to discuss the matter, implying that he would not be in attendance. One can only imagine their surprise when, as their meeting was getting under way, in strode General Washington. The atmosphere was tense. A hush fell over the room and Washington began to speak, urging the men to resist the call to mutiny. For if they did act illegally, they would squander all the good will they had accumulated during the war: “Let me entreat you, gentlemen, on your part, not to take any measures, which viewed in the calm light of reason, will lessen the dignity, and sully the glory you have hitherto maintained; let me request you to rely on the plighted faith of your country, and place a full confidence in the purity of the intentions of Congress.… By thus determining — & thus acting, you will pursue the plain & direct road to the attainment of your wishes. You will defeat the insidious designs of our enemies, who are compelled to resort from open force to secret artifice. You will give one more distinguished proof of unexampled patriotism & patient virtue, rising superior to the pressure of the most complicated sufferings…” When he finished, Washington reached into his pocket and pulled out a letter. But as he scanned the text, he fumbled for his reading glasses, saying to the officers, “Gentlemen, you must pardon me. I have grown old in the service of my country and now find that I am growing blind.” With that offhand reference to his personal sacrifice on behalf of the American cause, many in the room began to cry and the anger subsided. Washington had snuffed out the Newburgh Conspiracy. Three days later, Washington wrote to Congress to assure them that the crisis was over. Who exactly was behind the Newburgh Conspiracy and how serious was the talk of mutiny and insurrection, remains a mystery. But the crisis was significant for several reasons. One, it revealed how weak and ineffective the national government was under the Articles of Confederation, and therefore it played a role in spurring on the movement for what became the Constitutional Convention four years later. Second, the crisis provided one of several moments in this period where the leadership of George Washington proved critical. As one biographer put it, Washington was the “indispensable man” who at every critical moment in the nation’s founding, provided the steady hand, dignified demeanor, and selfless leadership that helped maintain unity and dedication to the common cause.

In this episode I look at the Battle of Hampton Roads and the fight between the USS Monitor and CSS Virginia

We ring in our 50th Episode with what else but true blue patriotism and war! First its the intrepid River Monitor Vardar. Then we learn about USS Monitor which had the world’s first revolving gun turret designed by Theodore Timby. And Theodore Timby once had a meeting with Abraham Lincoln in the White House which ranks #2 America’s Favorite Architecture. And the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial is also on the list and what a memorial it is! We learn about the architect and artist, Maya Lin who designed and built the memorial. And finally we land on the small mind of Ross Perot and his Reform party!

About this episode:  It was April of 1862, and the war was just about to enter its second year. The beginning of that year had been a bleak one for the Confederacy. In February, Fort Henry, Roanoke Island, North Carolina, and Fort Donelson all fell. Now there were invasion routes into "The Old North State," the interior of Tennessee, and the very heartland of the Confederacy. In the first week of March, Missouri was for all practical purposes lost to the confederacy thanks to Union victory at Pea Ridge. In the east, more cause for southern concern. The ironclad USS Monitor had revolutionized Naval warfare, and neutralized the Confederacy's CSS Virginia, and George B. McClellan finally stirred from his slows to land 121,000 men on the Virginia peninsula with its sights on Richmond. Though there had been all these military events, there were still some, North and South, who believed that particularly if the southern capital fell, the conflict would soon end. In fact a year earlier, A.W. Venable of Granville County, North Carolina declared that he would wipe of every drop of blood shed in the war with "this handkerchief of mine." Naive words. In his most vivid and terrible nightmares, he never dreamed of two days like April 6th and 7th, 1862. Neither had an entire nation. Two horrific days that churned and burned near a river landing and a little Methodist church built for the Prince Of Peace. Two bloody days that served as a national wake up call; a call that announced the sobering reality of how terrible civil war would truly be. This is the story of those two days. This is the story of the Battle of Shiloh.----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode:  Don Carlos Buell Ulysses S.

Season 3, Episode 42 On March 9th, 1862 — the day after the ironclad Merrimack destroyed two Union warships — the Confederate navy would meet its match in battle against the USS Monitor. Both sides would claim victory in the battle, but the true legacy would be the transformation of naval warfare across the globe. Chris Calton recounts the controversial history of the Civil War.

Season 3, Episode 40 The Union's response to the Confederate ironclad was an iron warship of its own. Unlike the Merrimack, the USS Monitor was a tremendous technological innovation, nearly single-handedly designed by a Swedish engineer named John Ericsson. This episode details his incredible life and the many failures that would culminate in the successful Monitor that would make him famous.

On January 25, 2018, Jonathan W. White delivered a Banner Lecture entitled “Our Little Monitor: The Greatest Invention of the Civil War.” On March 9, 1862, the USS Monitor met the CSS Virginia in battle in Hampton Roads, Virginia—the first time ironclad vessels would engage each other in combat. For four hours the two ships pummeled one another as thousands of Union and Confederate soldiers and civilians watched from the shorelines. Although the battle ended in a draw, this engagement would change the very nature of naval warfare. The “wooden walls” of navies around the world suddenly appeared far more vulnerable to political and military leaders. At the same time, in the weeks after the battle of Hampton Roads, Americans developed their own ideas for improving the Monitor or for sinking the Virginia. This talk will discuss some of the inventions devised by terrified northerners as well as the legacy of the USS Monitor in American life and culture since its sinking on New Year’s Eve 1862. Dr. Jonathan W. White is associate professor of American Studies at Christopher Newport University and a senior fellow with CNU’s Center for American Studies. He is the author of several books, including Emancipation, the Union Army, and the Reelection of Abraham Lincoln and Midnight in America: Darkness, Sleep, and Dreams during the Civil War, and coeditor (with Anna Gibson Holloway) of Our Little Monitor: The Greatest Invention of the Civil War.

The wreck of the USS Monitor has held the fascination of divers for years and with it's re-discovery in 1973 the first marine sanctuary was created to protect the Monitor. Listen to how that work is progressing and how you might be able to visit this historical wreck as host Greg Martin talks with David Alberg and Tane Casserley of the Monitor National Marine Sanctuary.

VA SOL VS.1a; VS.1d; VS.1e; VS.7b This video describes the battle between the Monitor and the Merrimack. On March 8, 1862, the world's first ironclad ship, CSS Virginia, destroyed two wooden-hulled U.S. warships at Hampton Roads. This battle revolutionized naval warfare by proving that wooden vessels were obsolete against ironclads. The next day the Union's first ironclad—the USS Monitor—arrived and fought the Virginia to a draw, ensuring the safety of the Union blockade fleet.

Seg. A - The Monitor Boys The U.S. Navy's first ironclad warship rose to glory during the Battle of Hampton Roads on March 9, 1862, but there's much more to know about the USS Monitor. Historian and author John Quarstein reveals the stories in his newest book, "The Monitor Boys." Quarstein joins us in studio to talk about his new book about the men who risked everything by going to sea in the celebrated "cheesebox on a raft" and became the hope of a nation wracked by war. Seg. B - Into the Deep: America, Whaling, and the World Also scheduled to join us, documentary filmmaker and writer Ric Burns. He'll be in town on April 21st at the Mariner's Museum in Newport News for a lecture and to present his newest documentary "Into the Deep: America, Whaling, and the World."

On November 12, 2009, Anna Gibson Holloway delivered a lecture entitled 'So Ends This Day': An Illustrated Update on the Life and Times of the USS Monitor, from 1861 to yesterday.' Although the Union ironclad Monitor may have ended her working career in a gale off Cape Hatteras 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 "cheesebox on a raft" still has stories to tell. Anna Holloway brought the Monitor to life in this lively, illustrated presentation by combining log entries, official correspondence, personal letters from officers and crew, and material evidence found in the ship itself. Holloway serves as vice president of museum collections and programs at the Mariners' Museum in Newport News, where she recently curated the award-winning exhibition Ironclad Revolution at the USS Monitor Center.
