Excerpt
That Anvil of Our Souls A Novel of the Monitor and the Merrimack By David Poyer Simon & Schuster Copyright © 2005 David Poyer
All right reserved.
ISBN: 0684871351
Chapter One
A Residence on Fifth · Introduction to Personages of Importance · The Southern Bug-bear · Advice from Men of Wealth and Influence · At the Delamater Ironworks · 95 Franklin
Street · Impromptu Examination in Gearing Design · Rejection of a Long-Cherished Scroll
Mr.Theodorus Hubbard. Responding to the invitation of Mr. Micah Eaker. Theo gave the butler his card, stripping off his dripping mackintosh, glancing resentfully around the interior of 372 Fifth
Avenue, New York City, to which the note waiting at his hotel that afternoon had invited him.
Theo Hubbard was no larger than a boy. But he'd never let his size confine the scope of his dreams. At twenty-six he'd already earned the confidence of the engineer in chief of the Navy. At the
moment he was in civilian clothes, a rumpled brown suit of only modest quality. His lips were firm, his blue eyes determined, his small chin smooth-shaven. For once his hands were free of coal dust
and machine grease, though not, he suspected, for long considering what his orders laid out to accomplish over the next ninety days.
-- You are expected. If you will follow me, sir.
The room into which he was shown from the chill of an October afternoon had been decorated by someone of taste. Lavender moire draperies puddled to a figured carpet. Gold-on-cream wallpaper glowed
beneath glass torchieres. A black leather settee stood between the front windows, and a huge fireplace mirror reflected prints of the Hudson Valley. A fire crackled on the grate, its reddish heart
well nourished, he saw, by a good draft. By the finest Pennsylvania anthracite too, by the smell. Three men in black broadcloth stood around it, holding segars.
-- Mister Theodorus Hubbard, the butler announced. The paneled door closed softly.
-- Mister Hubbard. I am Micah Eaker. Thank you for responding to my note.
A rubicund old gentleman with white chin-tuft. His grip was dry, glance sharp. -- I had not expected so young a man.
-- The Navy considers me old enough for my responsibilities, sir.
-- I am sure you will prove up to the mark. My own boy is in the naval service too; in North Carolina, I believe. Though we do not correspond just now.
-- I have met an Eaker.
-- We must compare notes. But now let me introduce you to two very good friends of mine. Mister G. L. Barnes, in the employ of Mister Griswold, of Albany. And this is Mister Cornelius Bushnell.
Gentlemen, may I present Theodorus Hubbard. Engineer Hubbard has been noticed in the papers both at Fort Sumter and at Gosport, and more recently in the battle at Hatteras.
Theo shook hands, his natural bumptiousness daunted. Barnes was unknown to him, but John A. Griswold was a major industrialist and very well connected politically -- specifically with the former
governor of New York and current secretary of state, William Seward. And Cornelius Scranton Bushnell was probably the most influential man in Connecticut...grocery magnate, railroad tycoon,
industrialist. They looked down at him as Eaker suggested he help himself to a segar, that whiskey was on the side table, that they all might be more comfortable seated.
-- Well, sir. It seems appropriate to congratulate you, Bushnell began. Tall and self-assured, with upper lip shaven and a dark beard brushing his stock. -- I am given to understand the chief
engineer has put you in charge of our ironclad project. The counterbalance to that great Southern bug-bear, the Merrimack.
-- Thank you, sir, but it may prove no bug-bear. And I believe Captain Ericsson would claim the distinction of being in charge.
They chuckled. -- I'm sure he would, but as the Navy's representative you will be responsible for a good deal of the construction. As such, we thought our views might be helpful.
-- I should be very glad to hear them.
Old Eaker said, -- Before we begin, boys, you might like to know Hubbard here is from Gideon Welles's hometown.
-- From Hartford, eh? Do you know the secretary, Mr. Hubbard?
-- I have had the pleasure of corresponding with him.
Theo didn't add that it had been in the form of a letter to the then editor of the Hartford Times. From his first startle he was beginning to feel more comfortable. This was the sort of personal
examination wealthy, powerful men liked to have with underlings. Which was fine with him.
One day he intended to be one of them.
Theodorus Coggswell Hubbard had been born on a farm in Weatogue. At twelve he'd walked to Hartford and signed on as a machinery oiler at the Hanbury cotton mill. Hard work, respectful address, and
natural ability made him assistant foreman at fifteen, foreman at sixteen, and journeyman machinist and head of loom maintenance at seventeen. On his eighteenth birthday he applied to the best school
he could afford, living on his savings as he completed his education.
When he graduated, the largest toolmaker in town hired him as a master machinist. When the company failed in '55, a notice in the Courant of a board to hire steam engineers in government service
caught his eye.
He'd taken the next morning's train to Washington, changing at New Haven, New York, and Philadelphia, sitting up all night on a hard bench seat. The questions were practical ones, easily answered by
anyone who'd run a stationary engine. He was assigned as third assistant engineer in the old paddle wheeler Susquehanna. He went from there to first assistant in Mississippi after her return from
shelling the Chinese at Pei Ho, then to Owanee as first engineer. He'd been about to resign and seek a position in engine design when the war had come.
Clever men with vision, such as Drake and Morse and Rockefeller, were changing the face of the country. America would bring the world wheels of steel and wings of bronze, nerved by electricity and
powered by steam. Men like Cyrus McCormick, Eli Whitney, and Joseph Henry were famous and rich. Theo Hubbard wanted these things with the desperation of a man born poor and nearing thirty.
He had one more reason for bidding farewell to the ocean waves. There were no applicants for the position at present, but he had no doubt of his eligibility for marriage should a suitable candidate
appear.
Barnes said vigorously, -- A fine figure of a man, Welles. Sees to the heart of a matter.
When the others murmured agreement, Bushnell took up the thread. -- When I presented Captain Ericsson's proposal, he saw at once how revolutionary it was. My own plan looked unimaginative beside it.
But we have ironmaking capacity for both and for many more.
-- Quite so, said Barnes. Then, to Theo, -- Now you, sir, are a protégé, one might say, of Mister Isherwood. Not so?
-- I work for the chief engineer.
-- Who has great confidence in you. You're a loyal employee.
-- My previous masters have thought so.
-- And your opinion of him?
Theo hesitated, searching the hard faces. Poker would be a child's game to these shrewd financiers, lobbyists, political fixers. -- We worked together, trying to save Merrimack in Norfolk. His
"Experiments in Steam Engineering" is a masterpiece. I'm proud to follow where he leads.
-- Well said.
-- Quite so.
Eaker patted his shoulder. -- Well, sir, you leave no doubt where you stand. Let us inquire further. You have seen considerable service afloat. What is your opinion of Captain Ericsson's design? Not
so much as to its buildability but as to its...seaworthiness?
They were all eyeing him now. Theo said, -- I've only seen sketches. There are many good points. But I cannot say I've fully matured my opinion.
-- Really?
-- Yes sir. I only arrived in the City today. I was preparing to report to Captain Ericsson this evening when your note arrived.
Barnes said, -- And so you shall; we shall not keep you. We wish you the best of luck in your new post, sir. And to assist you in your efforts...
The envelope was of heavy, calendared, expensive paper. Theo accepted it with raised eyebrows. -- What is this, sir?
Old Eaker murmured, -- A letter of credit, sir, on Eaker and Callowell -- my firm -- for the sum of two thousand dollars. The Union is in peril, sir. While young stalwarts like my son defend her with
their lives, it is only meet we older patriots defend her with our purses. You may draw on it for any expenditure you think fit to advance the cause or make your own efforts easier.
Theo found himself stammering. -- I must say...as I think fit...You will require an accounting?
-- I do not think that will be necessary, Eaker said gravely.
-- Only a word of caution, Bushnell put in.
-- A caution, sir? Theo fingered the envelope, still in shock. Two thousand was what a first engineer drew a year.
-- Rather let us call it advice. Barnes glanced at the others. -- Well-meant counsel from those inclined to be your friends. That is, if you have any brief from the chief engineer or the chief
constructor or any other quarter to frustrate Captain Ericsson's efforts in the country's defense, you may find your career prospects shortened. If, on the other hand, you lend him your full
assistance, and he meets with the success we expect, you will find them much enhanced. Other opportunities will beckon after the insurrection is put down next summer. Aid him with your seagoing
expertise. And let us know -- confidentially, of course -- if you should foresee any problems.
Theo stood with gloves in one hand, the envelope in the other. Should he tell them he didn't need threats or rewards to do his duty? Or simply bow and withdraw? One would give him a moment's
satisfaction. The other, not only two thousand dollars to spend as he wished, but preferment in business when peace returned. These were powerful men. The sort he'd always planned to serve...and to
become.
He said quietly, -- My orders are to assist Mister Ericsson in any way possible. Of course I will give him the benefit of my experience, such as it is.
And that must have struck just the right note, for all three nodded.
-- Quite so, quite so, old Eaker said. He raised his voice. -- Parkinson! Show our new friend to the door.
A locofoco flared in the dark, then was applied to a short pipe. Theo gazed up at the shadows of great brick chimneys, brewing with a woolen tangle of smoke and steam; serrated factory rooves; a
great crane that flung its arms wide above the gray North River, an iron scarecrow loftier than the highest steeple in Hartford. The lamp at the gate lit a red pennant that flapped endlessly in the
breeze.
The Cornelius H. Delamater Ironworks was the largest steam engine manufactory in the New World. It had provided the propeller and boilers for the first screw-propelled warship, Princeton, and
dominated the growing market for screw-propelled merchant ships. They'd built Ericsson's radical caloric-propelled ship, driven not by steam but by heated air. It hadn't worked very well, but only a
genius could conceive of replacing steam itself. Hubbard was standing on Thirteenth; the works spanned six hundred feet all the way to Fourteenth.
A steam whistle shrieked, and hundreds of men hurried toward him, grease-stained, exhausted-looking, thoughts intent no doubt on beef and potatoes and beer. Quitting time, and well after dark.
Delamater must be laying on extra hours.
Inquiring where he might find John Ericsson, he was told the engineer wasn't there. He maintained an office at his home, 95 Franklin Street.
Twenty minutes later, after a brisk walk through gaslit downtown, Hubbard was shown into an upstairs room by a cowed-looking housekeeper. The inventor of the steam fire engine, the screw propeller,
and the forced-draft blower sat in rolled-up shirtsleeves at an enormous drafting table. His balding head was bent under an intense light and considerable heat from large oil lamps with polished
reflectors.
-- What the hell do you want?
The inventor barked the words without turning his head. His Swedish accent was overlaid with Scots. Stocky, with bearded cheeks but clean upper lip, his forehead was as broad and his expression as
determined as any physiognomist could wish. The nib continued to scratch, noting calculations with incredible rapidity on a sheet of foolscap, then moving back to specify the length of a lever arm.
-- Sir, I am ordered to assist you in the construction of your steam battery.
-- And who the devil are you?
-- First Engineer Theodorus Hubbard, United States Navy. He extended his gloved hand, but the man waved it off impatiently.
-- I am no schoolmaster, sir. Why does the Navy insist on sending me dolts to instruct? I have no time. Good day.
-- I'm not here for instruction. Mister Isherwood feels I may be of service in lightening your load.
For the first time Ericsson looked at him, blinking reddened, pouchy eyes. He obviously hadn't slept for a long time. His shirt was ink-stained, his hands and fingers black. It looked as if he'd
wiped his pen on his forehead. -- Isherwood, eh? You one of his minions?
-- I'm a naval engineer.
-- A machinery oiler, you mean. Ericsson nodded at the diagram. -- No doubt you can drive a steam engine once it is explained to you. But only those familiar with mathematics can understand my
construction. If you don't know the calculus, you had better go back to your stoking.
Stung, Theo transferred his attention from the irascible tyrant to the diagram before him. And was struck speechless.
Pinned out under the artificial brilliance was a drawing of such elegance, purity of style, and, yes, beauty that for a moment his dazzled eye saw a work of art rather than an abstraction of
machinery. He searched in vain for clutter or clumsiness, for the usual contrivances lesser designers employed to cram machinery within the confines of a hull. All was simplicity, efficiency, direct
action. Most amazing, Ericsson had been sketching it freehand. No pencilled tracings lay about. He was drawing direct to manufacturing diagram, and doing his calculations as he drew. The brain before
him was accomplishing the work of four men simultaneously.
The Swede was smiling contemptuously. Theo cleared his throat. -- It seems to be...the rotating gear for a gun cupola.
Ericsson hoisted heavy eyebrows. -- A naval officer in here yesterday identified it as the works of a coffee grinder. Anything strike you as interesting about it?
Theo gave it several seconds' more examination. The terrific weight of the iron cupola, or turret, had been dealt with in an unusual way. In other proposals, such as Coles's sketch in Blackwood's,
the weight rested on the bottom edge, supported on balls or friction rollers. This drawing showed a ring but no bearings. Instead a central spindle supported the entire massive assembly, guns, men,
and armor, transmitting the weight downward through an iron pedestal to the keel. He pointed this out, and the inventor nodded. -- The advantage?
-- Less friction. Thus, a smaller drive engine. Less mechanical advantage necessary in the cogwheel train. A greater speed of rotation?
-- What strikes you as the weak point of such a system?
This threw him for a moment; he was not used to hearing any mechanical contrivance described as a "system," a word usually reserved for philosophical reflections. He finally pointed to the gear
train. -- I should say it lies in the possibility of a bending moment developing. Should the craft take a steep roll --
-- This wedge assembly raises or lowers the turret. In heavy seas it would be lowered, to rest on the bronze base ring.
-- I see that. But if, when jacked up on the spindle, it should be struck by a heavy shot, could it not jam? I should look into the centros and clearances on these cycloidal gears.
They discussed mating and generating surfaces, pitch angle and backlash. The arrangement seemed unimpeachable, and at last Theo said, -- It is brilliant in its conception and extremely interesting in
its arrangements.
-- It merely derives from the circumstances.
-- How do you mean, sir, only derives? The whole concept of your craft seems to me quite novel and original.
Ericsson rubbed his eyes. The glare was making Theo's own water; he could not imagine how the man endured it. The inventor said through gritted teeth, -- Is this world composed only of imbeciles? The
Merrimack has progressed so far, no structure of large dimensions can be completed in time to meet her. On the other hand, the heavy armor all observers report means only the largest guns will be of
any use against her. The waters of the Southern rivers are shallow. They are also narrow, making it difficult to return fire from along the banks by maneuvering to present a broadside. We are thus
driven to a small craft mounting heavy guns, of shallow draft, with a rotating turret. It is all so obvious I only had to explain it to the Navy board three times.
Theo did not like being called dolt and imbecile, but restrained his anger. The man was under terrific strain. -- As I understand it, you have only ninety days to produce this marvel, along with
hull, driving machinery, internal arrangements. In a navy yard this would scarcely suffice to begin the planning. But you have promised the vessel in that time.
-- Good, you know of the time limitation in the contract. Are you aware we also had to post bond that it will be invulnerable to enemy shot? We will not be paid in full until it passes that test. If
it does not, all monies advanced for construction must be refunded within thirty days.
Theo thought of the men he'd met at Eaker's. He wondered at their daring and envied their ability to wager such vast sums. Either they were selfless patriots, or immense profits were in the offing.
-- That is a shameful reservation.
-- I should not have signed it had we not already ordered the materials. Well, my battery will do all they require. I personally feel it will render nugatory the present superiority of England and
France over this country. But speed is of the essence. I am dividing the work among three leading establishments. The Novelty Ironworks, on the far side of Manhattan, is tooling up for the turret and
associated machinery; they have the only steam-powered presses capable of forming heavy plate to a circular section. Rowland laid the hull-keel at Continental today. Unfortunately I had no time to
attend. And Mister Delamater is building the engines, also of my design.
-- The chief engineer has high regard for all these companies, especially Novelty. He worked there early in his career.
-- Then he may not be as pedestrian as I have assumed.
-- Mister Isherwood is not a pedestrian man, sir. Though he is no universal genius like yourself.
He'd heard the old inventor was not insusceptible to flattery. He regarded it not as an emollient but as his due. But Ericsson still sounded suspicious. -- Yet he's trying to push the Bureau's
design. So far my supporters have managed to hold out for the genuine article, the only truly invulnerable floating battery.
Theo remembered his meeting with some of those "supporters" at Eaker's. Somehow Ericsson had managed to engineer not only machines, but a political-industrial lobby of considerable influence. -- It
is a most ingenious ship.
-- Not a "ship," sir. It is a fighting machine. Impregnable. Irresistible. Unsinkable. Ericsson spied the housekeeper lurking on the landing and shouted for coffee. -- So you're here to assist me.
How?
-- In whatever capacity you wish. I have some ability in drafting.
-- Mister MacCord does the working drawings. He nodded behind him, and Theo, looking over what he saw now was another drafting board, realized an assistant had overheard the entire conversation.
-- Then if you wish me to hoof them back and forth, I will gladly do that. Whatever you like. I believe in your vision and will do all in my power to assist you in its realization. And the Navy is
paying my salary. You need furnish nothing in that direction.
Ericsson cocked his head. -- Can you do without sleep?
-- That is one thing one learns in an engine room. I will sleep no more in the next ninety days than you.
The engineer looked skeptical. He said slowly, drawing a pen through a wiper: -- You might be young enough to train. If you are capable of checking a calculation for any errors fatigue may
interpolate, I can put you to use. As well as in carrying instructions to the various contractors. Ensuring plans are being carried out to specifications.
-- It will be my honor to work under you, sir.
A frosty, remote grimace. -- Perhaps we shall give you a trial. Coffee, Hubble? I confess I need a cup.
-- Hubbard, sir. I would be honored to take one with you, Captain.
Ericsson included MacCord in the invitation; he and Theo exchanged cool bows. As they gulped the bitter brew, and Ericsson began explaining his time line for construction, Theo recalled his own
scroll, reposing within his coat. He too thought the Navy hidebound, unwilling to step into the nineteenth century. Perhaps the great man's backers would be interested in another new machine of war.
And thinking of them, he remembered their confidential charge, and cleared his throat.
-- I will be happy also to give you the benefit of my experience, sir.
Ericsson looked up sharply. -- What do you mean?
-- I have spent years at sea; have been through storms and so forth. I could look over the design from that aspect.
-- That will not be required. Matters of buoyancy and stress can be foreseen better from the viewpoint of the experienced engineer than from the untutored guesses of seamen.
-- Then let me ask your indulgence in one thing more, sir.
Feeling perhaps the moment was not right, yet unable to resist, Theo brought it out into the light. Conscious suddenly of the erasures and inkblots, false starts, conjectures unsupported by
calculation, he unrolled it at waist level.
Ericsson scooted his stool back from it. -- This would be...?
-- It is a...submersible boat. Powered by a liquid fuel derived from petroleum oil.
This time Ericsson's smile was hawkish, contemptuous, his eyes sliding from the very sight of the document. -- I have no desire to be subjected to amateurish fantasies, sir. Nor with your pretense to
knowledge of the mysterious ways of the sea. Let us deal with realities. We must build the machine by January 12. My machine. Just as I have drawn it. A race against time. If we lose, the
Confederates will rule the waves. Is that quite clear?
-- Of course, sir. But I thought certain ideas --
Ericsson's attention was back in the board. Dipping his pen, he began etching in a watertight door. -- Let me make myself plain, Hobart. Or whatever your name is. Ideas are not required of you. You
are here to help me save the Union. Shall we confine our relations to that, sir?
Meekly, Theo agreed.

Excerpt
Reign of Iron By Nelson, James L. William Morrow & Company ISBN: 0060524030
Chapter One
Sink Before Surrender
Saturday, March 8, 1862, was a beautiful day in Virginia. A gale had blown itself out the night before, and behind it came clear, warm weather, a high-pressure system on the tail of the storm. A day
more like May than March, many people felt.
In Norfolk and Portsmouth, towns that faced one another across the Elizabeth River, excitement was spreading like fire, just as it had the year before, in the days leading up to secession and the
burning of the shipyard. The Confederate States Ship Virginia, an ironclad built on the burned-out hull of the old USS Merrimack, was getting under way.
There had been no announcement. In the interest of military security, the Gosport Naval Shipyard had been closed to visitors for months. Not even Virginia's crew knew where they were bound.
But there was no concealing her movements. Virginia was a monstrous vessel, 275 feet long. She was 38 ½ feet on the beam, and though the crowds watching from the shore could not see this, she
was burdened by a ponderous 22 feet of draft.
With black smoke rolling out of her tall stack she edged away from the dock, heading into the stream. Word spread fast, and people rushed to the riverbank to see her go. They had been waiting eight
months for this moment.
Most of Virginia was underwater, not only her massive hull, but also her afterdeck, the last 50 feet or so of the ship, which was 6 inches below the surface. All that the citizens watching could see
was a wedgeshaped false bow, barely breaking the surface, and her ironclad shield, like a barn roof floating on the river, 8 feet high. The lengths of plate iron running vertically along the shield
gleamed black with the coat of tallow smeared on them to help enemy shot bounce off. On the forward flagstaff flew the red pennant of an admiral. On the ensign staff was the Confederate national
flag, the "Stars and Bars."
The roof of the casemate, the "shield deck," was mainly an iron grating to let air and light into the gun deck below. But still the gun deck was "badly ventilated, very uncomfortable," and so gloomy
that lanterns were needed the full length of the deck, even on a fine, sunny day such as the 8th.
For that reason most of the Virginia's crew were crowded on the shield deck, about 16 feet wide and 120 feet long. In keeping with traditions of the sailing navy -- men before the mast and officers
aft -- the crew stood in front of the smokestack, the officers aft of it, though the helm and pilothouse were at the forward end of the casemate.
Foremost of the officers was Franklin Buchanan, appointed admiral in command of the James River squadron just a few weeks before. Sixty-one years old, balding with a tussle of white hair ringing his
head, Buchanan was a hard-driving disciplinarian, navy to the marrow, the "beau ideal of a naval officer of the old school, with his tall form, harsh features and clear piercing eyes." He was a man
with a great deal on his mind.
Virginia had never been under way before. She was powered by the Merrimack's old engines, engines that had been condemned by the U.S. Navy. Her engineer, H. Ashton Ramsay, had served aboard the ship
while she was still the USS Merrimack, and he reported, "From my past and present experience with the engines of this vessel, I am of the opinion that they can not be relied upon. During a cruise of
two years ... they were continually breaking down, at times when least expected."
Buchanan had quizzed Ramsay about the engines before getting under way. He asked about their reliability. He asked how they would endure the shock of Virginia ramming another vessel. He asked if they
should first make a trial trip.
Ramsay answered as best as he could. "She will have to travel some ten miles down the river before we get to the [Hampton] Roads. If any trouble develops, I'll report it. That will be sufficient
trial trip."
But Buchanan had more than engines to worry about. The crew were new to the ship. Construction had been ongoing until the very end -- that very morning he had ordered workmen off the ship so she
could get under way -- and the men had had no chance to drill onboard. They had never fired the guns. "The officers and crew were strangers to the ship and to each other," one of Virginia's
lieutenants wrote.
Many of the crew were strangers to ships of any description. The South had a chronic dearth of sailors, and Virginia's men had been hustled from the army or recruited from among the yard workers or
from local militia units. Scattered among them were a few veteran sailors, some survivors of the desperate battle for Albemarle Sound. "They proved to be as gallant and trusty a body of men as anyone
could wish to command," recalled Midshipman Virginius Newton, "but what a contrast they made to a crew of trained jack tars!"
Virginia was a "novelty in naval construction," her properties unknown, and she was still incomplete. There had been no time to fit the protective shutters over the gunports. The ship was riding too
high in the water. The lower edge of her casemate, which was supposed to be two feet underwater, was only a few inches under, leaving her lightly armored waterline vulnerable.
The enemy had at least five major warships on station, protected by heavy shore batteries at Newport News and the guns of Fortress Monroe and Fort Wool.
Any commanding officer would have been excused for insisting on a sea trial, a shakedown, a practice run, before steaming into battle. Most of the men onboard Virginia assumed that was what they were
doing. Only a few knew the truth ...

Abstract: (Vol. 1.) First invasion : the War of 1812, depicts how only 30 years after winning the independence, the upstart United States waged another war with Great Britain.
Motivated by the high-seas capture of American sailors and the desire to annex Canadian lands, President Madison declared war. Thanks to the aim of a lone sniper, the skill of Andrew Jackson, the
fortitude of the people of Baltimore, and the events of September 11, 1814, America would triumph again, ensuring the survival of the fledgling nation. -- Save our history : the star-spangled banner
recaptures the events that led Francis Scott Key to write the song which would become our national anthem. This song was written at the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. (Vol. 2.) The
battle of New Orleans shows how General Andrew Jackson led a motley group of Creoles, freeborn blacks, local Native Americans and poorly armed frontiersmen to defeat the British army effectively
ending the War of 1812. -- Biography: Andrew Jackson : a man for the people shows how Andrew Jackson, known as "Old Hickory", took office in 1828 as President of the United States building on a
reputation for leadership earned in battle during the War of 1812. -- The great ships: the Ironclads presents how In the 19th century, the iron clad warships represented a radical advance over all
earlier war ships making the wooden Navies of the world obsolete overnight. -- Extreme history: surviving an 1812 battleship provides a look at what it was like to engage the enemy from inside an
1812 battleship.

** Summary **
Only 30 years after gaining independence, the upstart United States found itself once again battling Great Britain. Pitted against the world's most powerful nation, victory seemed unlikely. But
Andrew Jackson's briliant leadership, a lone sniper, and one of the most lopsided victories in military history turned the tide of the war. The History Channel Presents: The War of 1812 is the
authoritative chronicle of one of America's most defining moments.

Abstract: Swedish-born engineer and inventor Captain John Ericsson was ahead of his time. His sleek fire engine could shoot gallons of water as high as ninety feet. His steam
locomotive could fly down the tracks at the unheard of speed of thirty miles per hour. But was such a quantity of water necessary? Was such speed advisable? Neither the starched lords of the British
Admiralty nor the snooty London Fire Brigade were ready for his strange and wonderful inventions. However, wonderful opportunities awaited Captain Ericsson on the other side of the Atlantic, where
people had a taste for dreamers.

** Summary **
In a familiar story, the USS Monitor battled the CSS Virginia (the armored and refitted USS Merrimac) at Hampton Roads in April of 1862. In War, Technology, and Experience aboard the USS Monitor
David A. Mindell adds a new perspective to the story as he explores how mariners -- fighting "blindly" below the waterline -- lived and coped with the metal monster they called the "iron coffin".
Mindell shows how the iron warship emerged as an idea and made its way into workability, how building it drew upon and forced changes in contemporary manufacturing technology, and how the vessel
captured the nineteenth-century American popular and literary imaginations.
Combining technical, personal, administrative, and literary analysis, Mindell examines the experience of the men aboard the Monitor and their reactions to the thrills and dangers that accompanied the
new machine. The invention surrounded men with iron and threatened their heroism, their self-image as warriors, even their lives. Mindell also examines responses to this strange new warship by
Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville, who prophetically saw in the Civil War a portent of the mechanized warfare of the future. The story of the Monitor shows how technology changes not only the
tools but also the very experience of combat, generating effects that are still felt today in the era of "smart bombs" and pushbutton wars.

** Summary **
Robert Sheridan has been part of the Monitor story since the 1970s, when his research vessel first made sonar contact with the long-lost wreck of the famous Civil War ironclad and he collected the
first identifiable artifact. In this book he combines his perspective of the Monitor's discovery and efforts to save her artifacts with an authoritative history of the ship that revolutionized naval
design. Opening chapters discuss the ship's construction, her successful battle with the Merrimac in 1862 that spelled the end of wooden warships, and the Monitor's sinking later that year off Cape
Hatteras. Comments from the secretary of the navy who spurred the building of the Monitor, the captain who engaged her, and the young lieutenant who survived the sinking add color to these
historically significant events. Sheridan follows with a personal account of the discovery of the Monitor and addresses the issues of control over the wreck and its recovery. He also describes his
nearly twenty years of lobbying to convince Congress that the Monitor's deterioration called for action. The book's final chapters chronicle the raising of artifacts from this national treasure. This
is the first account to detail both the dramatic history of the Yankee ironclad and the extraordinary attempts to recover her.
** Author Notes **
Robert E. Sheridan is a marine geophysicist and a marine geologist who studied the North American Atlantic continental margin for forty years. A descendant of a Union army veteran, his work on the
discovery and recovery of the USS Monitor allowed him to combine his vocation with his avocation as a Civil War history enthusiast. Sheridan has a bachelor's degree in geology from Rutgers University
and master's and Ph.D. degrees in marine geophysics from Columbia University. He was an associate professor at the University of Delaware in 1973, when he was part of the team that discovered the
Monitor wreck off Cape Hatteras. Sheridan moved to Rutgers University as a full professor in 1986 and retired in 2003. He lives with his wife Karen in New Jersey

Chapter One Ericsson's Struggles
No story about the Union ironclad ship, the Monitor, can be told without first discussing John Ericsson. Rather than being an inspirational conception, the Monitor evolved in Ericsson's mind from
facts he amassed during his extensive career producing engineering innovations, including several military weapons and other types of ships. As in other scientific pursuits in the nineteenth century,
the engineering knowledge base was limited. Scientists and engineers had broad interests and a great diversity of experience and skills. They were far removed from the narrow specialists typical in
today's technical fields. Ericsson's interest in naval warships expanded as a natural part of his vocation as a professional engineer.
Born in Sweden in 1803 (Peterkin 1981a, 12; Mindell 2000, 33), Ericsson developed an early interest in technology. His father was involved in mine construction and encouraged his engineering drawing
skills. Even as a teenager, Ericsson provided drawings for a major canal project in Sweden and worked on the project as a surveyor (Hoehling 1976, 16).
Ericsson entered military service, as did many young Swedish men. Considered a well respected professional pursuit in the nineteenth century, the military offered the opportunity for technical
training not available elsewhere. First as a cadet in the mechanical corps of the Swedish navy, and later as an officer in the army artillery (Peterkin 1981a, 12; Mindell 2000, 34; Hoehling 1976,
16), Ericsson furthered his training and experience as an engineer. His interest in ships and propulsion stayed with him throughout his career. His artillery experience provided knowledge of the
capabilities of cannons and ammunition.
When he was twenty-one, Ericsson took a leave from the Swedish army and moved to London (Hoehling 1976, 16; Peterkin 1981a, 12). He wished to expand his engineering experience and demonstrate the
caloric hot-air engine that he had developed. Although his engine was unsuccessful, he began a productive ten year association with English engineer John Braithwaite.
After resigning from the Swedish army with the rank of captain in 1826 (Peterkin 1981a, 12), Ericsson continued his engineering career in England. He patented many mundane and pragmatic devices. His
air compressors, condensers, refrigerators, steam fire engines, and pumps serviced towns, mines, breweries, and other growing businesses of the early nineteenth century (Hoehling 1976, 17)
The newest form of ground transportation, railroads, drew Ericsson's attention. The Liverpool and Manchester Railway offered a cash award for the best steam locomotive design in 1829. Although
Ericsson's steam locomotive, the Novelty, reached speeds in excess of sixty miles per hour, an amazing feat for the time, Ericsson's locomotive was beaten in the competition by a slower but sturdier
engine (Peterkin 1981a, 12). The Novelty's high speed was a little frightening, and the public was still apprehensive about the new form of mechanical transportation that the railroads presented.
Ericsson was ahead of his time with this invention, similar to his later work on the Monitor.
A few years later, Ericsson associated with two American entrepreneurs: Francis B. Ogden and a wealthy navy officer, Capt. Robert F. Stockton (Hoehling 1976, 18; Peterkin, 1981a, 12). Both men saw a
future for marine steam propulsion. The steam propulsion of ships consisted of side wheel and stern paddle wheel systems. To Ericsson's military mind, and with his awareness of the increasing
effectiveness of naval armaments and solid shots and explosive shells, the vulnerability of the side and stern wheeler steamers was clear. He realized that placing the propulsion system beneath the
waterline would offer a great deal of protection from shot and shell, a concept he used later in his design of the Monitor.
Ericsson patented his rotary, or screw, propeller design in 1833. It provided ship's thrust below the water. He then built a twin-propeller steam tug for Ogden, named it the Francis B. Ogden, and
used it to try and convince England's Royal Navy of the value of screw propellers (Peterkin 1981a, 12). Although he failed to win the approval of the Admiralty, he earned support from Stockton.
Coming from a wealthy New Jersey family, Stockton was heavily involved in the development of canal and river transportation along the Delaware River and in the construction of New Jersey's railroads
(Mindell 2000, 36). Stockton visualized the future use of propeller-driven steamers on rivers and, being a naval officer, appreciated the military applications of the screw propeller.
In 1838 Ericsson built for Stockton a small seventy foot, iron-hulled, twin-propeller ship called the Robert F. Stockton (Mindell 2000, 36; Hoehling 1976, 18). Within a year, the Stockton sailed from
England to the United States. Transatlantic steamships were rare, so the publicity about the Stockton's trip created an American awareness of Ericsson's prowess as a naval engineer. Business contacts
and associations formed through Stockton drew Ericsson to the United States in 1839. Stockton's initial attempt to convince the U.S. Navy to build a large propeller-driven frigate of Ericsson's
design was unsuccessful (Peterkin 1981a, 12). In 1840-41, Ericsson found employment at the Phoenix Iron Works in New York City, where years later the Monitor would be built.
Stockton finally succeeded in his proposals to the navy to build a large propeller-driven frigate. In 1841, through Stockton's sponsorship, the navy contracted Ericsson to build a steam warship
called the Princeton (Mindell 2000, 36). This was Ericsson's major contribution to naval construction from 1841 to 1844. In a practice to be followed later in the rapid construction of the Monitor,
Ericsson supervised the subcontractors' manufacturing of the parts for the Princeton. The hull was constructed in Philadelphia while the engine was built in New York City (Hoehling 1976, 20). Many
aspects of the iron-hulled Princeton were later repeated in the Monitor, including a multiple-bladed screw propeller, a direct-drive engine, and engine room blowers. Many of Ericsson's innovations
were submarine to protect these essential propulsion systems from shot and shell (Hoehling 1976, 20; Peterkin 1981a, 13).
The Princeton's armament included two 12-inch cannons, which were the largest guns placed in naval vessels at that time (Hoehling 1976, 20). One of the 12-inch guns was designed by Ericsson and built
in England. He called it the "Oregon," because of the early 1840s territorial question between the United States and England about ownership of the Oregon area (Mindell 2000, 36). Ericsson favored
the United States in that dispute. A heavy cannon of wrought iron, the Oregon featured a breech reinforced with belts of iron rings that strengthened the gun against the lateral pressures on ignition
(Hoehling 1976, 20). Shot from the cannon could penetrate four inches of iron plate or fifty-seven inches of oak (Peterkin 1981a, 13). A contractor, following Stockton's specifications, built the
Princeton's second 12-inch gun. Called the "Peacemaker," it did not have iron rings reinforcing the breech (Hoehling 1976, 20).
Ericsson and Stockton successfully demonstrated the screw propulsion system in the Princeton. In 1843, the Princeton's maneuverability and speed were greater than the existing paddle wheelers
(Peterkin 1981a, 13). Unfortunately, the Peacemaker damned the Princeton project when a demonstration of the Princeton's capabilities to President John Tyler and his cabinet members led to disaster
in 1844. The Peacemaker exploded, killing Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur and Secretary of the Navy Thomas W. Gilmer. President Tyler was providentially spared because he was below decks (Mindell
2000, 37).
Stockton was not held accountable for the accident, possibly because he was a naval officer and President Tyler's friend (Peterkin 1981a, 13). Ericsson felt the navy unfairly blamed him for the
Peacemaker's failure. He was never paid the more than ten thousand dollars that the navy owed him for his work (Hoehling 1976, 21), and he received no more government contracts. Although Ericsson was
naturally embittered toward the U.S. Navy and the U.S. government in general, he obviously was impressed enough with other aspects of the country to become a U.S. citizen in 1848 (Peterkin 1981a, 13).
In the 185Os Ericsson again worked productively with the Phoenix Iron Works in New York City. He built the Ericsson, a 260 foot ship, to demonstrate the marine use of his caloric engine in 1854
(Mindell 2000, 37). Unfortunately, it sank within the year in a storm off the New Jersey coast (Hoehling 1976, 21). During this time frame Ericsson communicated with potential investors about his
idea of a "sub-aquatic" ship with a movable battery system, which had many features later used on the Monitor (Peterkin 1981a, 14). Ericsson submitted his concept to Emperor Napoleon III during
France's war with Russia in 1854. Napoleon never responded to Ericsson about the sub-aquatic war vessel (Mindell 2000, 38). Later, no documentation was found to substantiate Ericsson's claim, so
arguments arose during and after the U.S. Civil War about who actually invented the movable battery turret.
Unknown to Ericsson, another inventor, Theodore Ruggles Timby, had conceived of a rotating multiple-gun turret or castle for harbor defense in 1841. He filed a written notice, or caveat, to establish
claim on his invention with the U.S. Patent Office. The caveat mentioned a revolving metallic turret for use on land or water, so naval use was included (Farr 1997, 34). Ericsson indicated that he
had thought about his concept of what would eventually become the Monitor as early as 1826, which was prior to Timby's inspiration (Peterkin 1981a, 13). Ericsson's financial partners in building the
Monitor were apparently aware of Timby's patent, because they reached a financial settlement with Timby for the Monitor-class ships they built. The U.S. Navy, however, never officially recognized
Timby's claim and did not award him any financial compensation on later Monitor-class ships built by other companies. Ericsson's ego made him resist any sharing of the credit for inventing the
Monitor, and his publicity after the war prevailed. As late as 19O7, the Federal Court of Claims decided that Timby did not warrant financial compensation or credit for inventing the Monitor (Farr
1997, 36).
Ericsson continued his engineering pursuits in association with Harry Delamater of the Phoenix Iron Works until Civil War hostilities began in April 1861. On 7 August the Navy Department sent out
requests for proposals for the construction of ironclad warships (Peterkin 1981a, 14). The U.S. Navy was poorly disposed, with less than one hundred vessels; less than one quarter of the fleet was
steam powered (Mindell 2000, 26). No navy warships were ironclad. Moreover, the knowledge that the Confederates in Norfolk were constructing an ironclad warship from the hull of the sunken USS
Merrimack gave much urgency to the call for Union ironclads.
Responding to the request for proposals, Ericsson dusted off his drawings and models of the sub-aquatic warship he had submitted to Napoleon III. On 29 August 1861 he sent a letter to President
Abraham Lincoln outlining his proposal to construct a ship that later became the Monitor. "Please look carefully at the enclosed plans and you will see that the means I propose to employ are simple
... and so efficient too.... I have planned upward of 100 marine engines and ... mechanical and naval structures of various kinds.... I have received a military education and feel at home with the
science of artillery.... These statements ... prove that you may safely entrust me with the work I propose" (Hoehling 1976, 42-43).
Ericsson was still wary of the U.S. Navy's criticism of him after the Princeton disaster, and he was defensive about what he considered unjust condemnation. He also realized that the navy would be
extra-critical of any ironclad proposals that he might submit. Consequently, he stressed his background and capabilities in his letter to President Lincoln, hoping to avoid any early negative
reaction from the navy. Unfortunately, Ericsson's plea to President Lincoln never made it through the bureaucratic channels for the president's consideration (Hoehling 1976, 44).
According to Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles, a board of navy officers was appointed on 8 August 1861 to receive and evaluate ironclad warship plans that had to be submitted in the next
twenty-five days. Called the Ironclad Board, its members were Commo. Joseph Smith, chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks; Commo. Hiram Paulding; and Capt. Charles H. Davis (Welles 1996, 18).
Appointed chairman of the Ironclad Board, Smith was mechanically minded and experienced. Moreover, he was a close friend of Secretary Welles and had his complete confidence. Seventeen proposals for
ironclad warships were received by the board, including Ericsson's Monitor design.
Consideration of Ericsson's proposal, however, was fortuitously and indirectly brought before the Ironclad Board after 3 September 1861, which was the twenty-five day deadline for submission. This
turned out to be a stroke of good fortune for Ericsson. Cornelius S. Bushnell had been given the go-ahead by the Ironclad Board to construct an ironclad warship, the Galena. By chance, Bushnell
visited Ericsson around September 9 to have him evaluate the Galena's stability. During the visit Ericsson showed Bushnell a model of his version of the sub-aquatic battery (Peterkin 1981a, 15).
Ericsson impressed Bushnell with his description of his model warship and its "simple" efficiency, and stressed his ability to build the Monitor relatively rapidly (Hoehling 1976, 45).
Bushnell was so impressed with Ericsson's ideas that he took the Monitor model directly to Secretary Welles, who was in Hartford, Connecticut, preparing for his move to Washington, D.C. (Welles 1996,
18). Welles was so excited by the Monitor proposal that he acted immediately, in spite of the deadline of 3 September being past. Welles wrote, "I directed Mr. Bushnell to proceed immediately to
Washington, and submit the model to the Board for examination and report. But, deeming the subject of great importance, and fearing the Board would be restrained by the limit of twenty-five days, I
immediately followed, and arrived in Washington almost as soon as Mr. Bushnell with the model" (Welles 1996, 19).
After arriving in Washington, Bushnell contacted his two partners, John F.

** Summary **
"A cheesebox on a shingle," scoffed one observer as the USS Monitor steamed slowly toward the Confederacy's hulking iron battleship in March 1862. But the odd-looking contraption with its revolving
gun turret revolutionized naval warfare.
Its one great battle in the spring of 1862 marked the obsolescence of wooden fighting ships and may have saved the Union. Its terrible end in a winter storm off Cape Hatteras condemned sixteen
sailors to a watery grave. And the recovery of its 200-ton turret in August 2002 capped the largest, most complex and hazardous ocean salvage operation in history.
In Ironclad, Paul Clancy interweaves these stories so skillfully that the cries of drowning Union sailors sound a ghostly undertone to the cough of diesel generators and the clanging of
compression-chamber doors on a huge recovery barge. The din and screech of cannonballs on iron plating echo beneath the hum of electronic monitors and the garbled voices of Navy divers working at the
edge of human technology and endurance in water 240 feet deep.
Clancy studied the letters and diaries of the Monitor's long-ago sailors, and he moved among the salvage divers and archaeologists in the summer of 2002. John L. Worden, captain of the Monitor,
strides from these pages no less vividly than the remarkable Bobbie Scholley, the woman commander of 160 Navy divers on an extreme mission.
Clancy writes history as it really happens, the improbable conjunction of personalities, ideas, circumstances, and chance. The Union navy desperately needed an answer to the Confederacy's ironclad
dreadnought, and the brilliantly eccentric Swedish engineer John Ericsson had one. And 140 years later, when marine archaeologists despaired of recovering any part of the Monitor before it
disintegrated, a few visionaries in the U.S. Navy saw an opportunity to resurrect their deep-water saturation diving program.
From the breakneck pace of the Monitor's conception, birth, and brief career, to the years of careful planning and perilous labor involved in her recovery, Ironclad tells a compelling tale of
technological revolution, wartime heroism, undersea adventure, and forensic science. This book is must-reading for anyone interested in Civil War and naval history, diving and underwater salvage, or
adventures at sea.

Chapter One
Toward a "Sub-Aquatic System
of Naval Warfare"
THE BATTLE of Waterloo, in 1815, marked not only the end of Napoleon's ambitions for world domination but also the beginning of the end of a kind of warfare that had changed little since the
introduction of gunpowder into Europe in the thirteenth century. For five hundred years following that epochal development, military leaders had been banging away at each other in increasingly
predictable fashion, employing strategies barely refined since the days of their great-grandfathers. But even as the squadron of Royal Navy vessels squared away for the South Atlantic to deposit the
defeated Bonaparte at his final home on St. Helena, invisible historical forces were already beginning to reshape the world, and would soon radically transform everything in it, including the means
by which armies and navies went about the business of waging war.
The great unseen impetus for change was that momentous confluence of political, scientific, and commercial crosscurrents now known as the Industrial Revolution, which had been slowly maturing for
decades in the "dark satanic mills" crowding the riverbanks of Europe, and which had recently been quickened into new life by a number of seminal developments, the most important of which was James
Watt's improved steam engine. With the return of peace after Waterloo, Great Britain, the first country to benefit from Watt's new engines, emerged unchallenged as the world's leading industrial
power. The City of London became the financial and entrepreneurial center of the new technological economy, drawing to it venture capitalists, inventors, and visionaries eager to profit from the new
opportunities for wealth.
It was an extraordinarily dynamic era, both stimulating and unsettling, as new ideas arose to challenge conventional wisdom, and new ways of doing things came into conflict with long-established
patterns of thought and behavior. It was into this world of change, in the spring of 1826, that a young, twenty-three-year-old Swedish engineer named John Ericsson arrived in London, eager to carve
out a career as an inventor. Ericsson, an intense, ambitious, and at times obsessive perfectionist, would become a major contributor to the technological dynamism of his era, most notably in the
field of naval warfare. His most significant achievement would be the USS Monitor. Over the next thirty-six years, he would dream up her original concept, personally design every one of her unique
features, and eventually, after countless frustrations and disappointments, see his vision triumphantly realized.
Ericsson was born in 1803 in the remote Swedish village of Langbanshyttan, in the province of Värmland. He was recognized from an early age as a prodigy, and his father, a mining engineer,
encouraged the boy. By the age of five, he had already invented a working windmill built from the springs and gears of an old clock augmented by bits of tableware borrowed from his mother.
When Ericsson was eight years old, his father took a job as a supervisor on the construction of the Göta Canal, an ambitious engineering project designed to span the entire width of Sweden. At
the family's new home at Forsvik, the boy received a solid, if informal, education from some of the other engineers on the project, including instruction in English, French, Latin, and chemistry, as
well as architectural and mechanical drawing. Eventually he went to work for his father and rose quickly to the position of assistant surveyor, despite the fact that he was still too short to reach
the eyepiece of his leveling instrument without the aid of a stoop carried by an assistant. At sixteen, he was put in charge of a crew of six hundred men and was made responsible for drawing up plans
for the entire canal and for the care and maintenance of all the machinery and tools used in its construction.
The following year, in 1820, the young Ericsson joined the army, where he was set to work preparing maps of the military areas in and around Jamtland, near the arctic circle. When his maps were
forwarded to Stockholm, they were instantly recognized as cartographic masterpieces. They are still extant today, carefully preserved in the Swedish Royal Archives.
The army gave Ericsson the opportunity to practice his other engineering skills as well, including the design of steam engines, primarily for draining ditches. While involved in this project, it
occurred to him that if he could use hot air to run the engines, rather than steam, he could vastly improve their efficiency. His experiments along this line eventually resulted in what he called his
"flame engine," which, in a demonstration before the Swedish Engineering Society in Stockholm, produced ten horsepower. While the flame engine offered considerable promise, Sweden was a poor country,
with only limited opportunities for exploiting the design, and Ericsson was encouraged to take his invention to England, where the bankers of Lombard Street stood ready to support almost any
promising form of industrial innovation. When the British minister in Stockholm arranged for him to speak before the Society of Civil Engineers in London, the young officer, filled with ambition and
dreams of success, packed his bag, borrowed a thousand crowns, and set sail for England. He would never see his native land again.
Ericsson arrived in London with a working model of his flame engine, which he claimed was considerably more efficient than any steam engine then on the market, but alas, when it came time to
demonstrate it before an audience of fellow engineers, his engine, which had worked so well at home where wood was the basic fuel, proved unadaptable to British coal, and Ericsson was forced to set
it aside for further tinkering.
Undaunted, he established a partnership with an English engineer named John Braithwaite and quickly began making a name for himself as a clever and resourceful—if somewhat willful—designer
of ventilating systems, fire pumps, and railway locomotives, a man who could turn his hand to almost any mechanical problem and come up with a practical, and often elegant, solution.
Examined today, Ericsson's drawings still exhibit a singular purity of style. Even with the most mundane project, he strove for simplicity and took pains to eliminate everything that was not
essential. The beauty and superior workmanship of Ericsson's designs did not go unnoticed. His railroad locomotive, the Novelty, which he conceived and built from scratch in just seven weeks in 1829
for a contest sponsored by the Liverpool & Manchester Railway, was as highly praised for its style as for its performance. The Times reported that "the Novelty was the lightest and most elegant
carriage on the road yesterday, and the velocity with which it moved surprised and amazed every beholder." A writer for the Mechanics Magazine was equally complimentary, noting that "the great
lightness of the Novelty, its great compactness, its beautiful workmanship, excited universal admiration."
In one test, the Novelty covered a measured mile in fifty-three seconds, establishing a new land speed record, but beauty and superior engineering turned out to be insufficient to win that particular
contest. The sponsors, who wanted another entrant to win, changed the rules in the middle of the competition in an effort to eliminate the foreigner Ericsson and subsequently disqualified his entry
on a technicality. The incident undoubtedly fed the inventor's inherent distrust of the English.
Ericsson had arrived in Britain with no particular background or interest in shipbuilding, but like most entrepreneurial types he was an opportunist. When he saw the great significance that the
English attached to naval construction, and the liberal financial rewards to be garnered by those who produced what the Royal Navy wanted, he made it his business to find out as much as he could
about such matters. He quickly realized that the highly specialized world of warship design was in the throes of a momentous upheaval as a result of two recent but unrelated advances in maritime
technology. The first such advance was the increasing reliability of marine steam engines, which was bringing about the first major redesign of warships since the development of square rigging. The
second was the recent introduction of a new, infinitely more destructive kind of artillery called the shell gun. It was Ericsson's efforts to create a warship incorporating both steam power and the
shell gun that led directly to his design of the Monitor.
Shell guns had been developed in France under the direction of Colonel Henri-Joseph Paixhans, a veteran of Napoleon's artillery corps. They were large-caliber cannon that fired hollow explosive
projectiles filled with gunpowder, instead of the traditional solid iron shot. The projectiles were known as "shells" because their metal casings enclosed the explosive charge in the same way that
rigid seashells and eggshells encase their contents. The shells were detonated by metal fuses and could be set to explode on or after impact. Colonel Paixhans advocated arming naval vessels with his
new guns and predicted that sea battles would no longer be decided by the familiar iron cannonballs that buffed themselves in ships' timbers or bounced off their oaken hulls, but by his new shells,
which would penetrate the wooden walls and explode, tearing gaping holes in the side of the target vessels, setting them on fire, and inevitably sinking them.
Paixhans guns were still in the experimental stage, and had yet to be tested in combat, but in supervised trials, in which shells were fired into target casements built to the strength and dimensions
of a ship's gunwales, it was clearly demonstrated that the guns had the potential to destroy any wooden naval vessel afloat—a matter of some moment, given that every last naval vessel in the
world was built of wood.
The young Ericsson studied the threat posed by the Paixhans guns and proposed a solution that was characteristically straightforward and uncompromising: If shell guns could destroy wooden ships, he
reasoned, then wooden ships were by definition obsolete. In the future, Ericsson argued, naval vessels would have to be protected by enough iron armor to withstand the fire of the shell guns.
The idea of building ships out of iron was not in itself particularly revolutionary. There were already a number of merchant vessels constructed of iron in service at the time Ericsson made his
suggestion, notably the Aaron Manby. But Ericsson was advocating something far more difficult to achieve than simply the use of iron as a building material. He wanted to use it as a protective armor
plate. The difference between an iron ship, such as the Aaron Manby, and an ironclad ship, such as Ericsson proposed, was, to use a modern analogy, the difference between an automobile and an armored
tank. Both were built from the same materials, but in fundamentally different ways, and for fundamentally different purposes.
While the use of ironcladding was not common at the time, neither was it entirely unknown. As early as the third century B.C., the king of Syracuse was reported to have armor-plated a merchant vessel
by sheathing it in lead, and in 1592 the Korean admiral Yi-sun had repelled a Japanese naval attack with an ironclad "tortoise ship." As recently as the 1780s, the Spanish had employed floating gun
batteries protected by sheet iron.
Not everyone shared Ericsson's faith in ironcladding. Skeptics argued that earlier ironclad vessels required only limited amounts of sheathing to resist attack, but that cannon were now so powerful
that a ship would require armor plate at least two inches thick for adequate protection. So much additional weight would vastly increase a vessel's instability, it was argued, and create a slew of
troublesome design problems relating to speed and seaworthiness. Opponents of ironcladding pointed out, moreover, that the fuses used to detonate Colonel Paixhans's projectiles were notoriously
untrustworthy, suggesting that the danger posed by the French guns was in all likelihood overrated.
Ericsson vehemently disagreed. As an engineer, he knew from experience that it was almost always a simple matter to correct a mechanical problem once it was defined. He argued adamantly that it was
time to begin experimenting with ironcladding before gunnery experts remedied the problems in Paixhans's fuses. But no one in naval circles was as yet ready to pay much attention to the unsolicited
advice of a young and untried Swedish mechanic. As a result, the navies of the world chose to ignore the threat and, for the time being, continued to build their ships of oak.
The other development influencing warship design, the increasing reliability of marine steam engines, was an equally significant harbinger of change. Steam had long been employed successfully in
commercial vessels, beginning with Robert Fulton's Clermont in 1807, but in the 1820s its use in warships was still limited. Naval officers understood and appreciated the potential importance of
steam—they were particularly excited by the fact that it gave them the ability to choose their battle positions in combat regardless of wind or weather, an enormous tactical advantage—but
Admiralty shipwrights were quick to point out that for all the advantages of steam, the inherent drawbacks appeared to outweigh the potential benefits.
The most obvious problem lay in the prodigious quantities of fuel required to keep a steamship in motion. Steam engines consumed far more coal than a warship could possibly carry on a long voyage, a
fact that made them of use only in specialized vessels, such as harbor tugs, river packets, and coasters, the kind of ships that never strayed far from a coaling station.
In an attempt to combine the advantages of steam with the practicality of sail, navies experimented with compromise vessels—sailing ships with auxiliary steam engines—with indifferent
results, primarily because there was still another serious problem with steamers that bore directly on their fighting qualities, namely, the vulnerability of their means of propulsion.
The only practical way that had as yet been devised to move steamships through the water was with large and clumsy paddlewheels, usually mounted amidships on either side of the vessel. In order to
function properly, both the wheels and the machinery to operate them had to be located above the waterline, where they were easy targets for enemy guns. A single well-placed shot could disable a
paddlewheel and render a ship helpless. For that reason alone, it was generally acknowledged among shipbuilders that for all the promise of steam, sail was not only superior but, barring some
unforeseen change in circumstances, would likely remain so.
As an engineer, Ericsson harbored an innate bias for steam over sail, but he had no immediate solution to either the problem of excessive fuel consumption or the vulnerability of paddlewheels. At
some point in the second half of 1826, a vague notion for a new kind of steam warship started to take shape in the back of his mind, a concept he would subsequently label, with somewhat ponderous
solemnity, his "sub-aquatic system of naval warfare."
Ericsson, usually a meticulous record keeper, was never entirely clear as to the precise details of his sub-aquatic system, particularly in its earliest formulations. But in essence, he seems to have
envisioned an invincible steam-powered warship that would be shot- and shell-proof, in part because it was ironclad, and in part because its means of propulsion would be located safely below the
ship's waterline, and therefore beyond the reach of enemy guns.
The sub-aquatic system was a straightforward enough concept as far as it went, save for the fact that neither John Ericsson nor anyone else had the remotest idea how to build it—the technology
simply did not exist. Over the next quarter century, sandwiching his efforts between more remunerative engineering projects, he sought to develop such a technology.
His first priority was to devise some method of propelling a steamship through water other than by paddlewheel. It took Ericsson several years to work out a solution, but finally, by 1837, he had his
answer. It was his screw propeller, the first practical, modern propeller, the direct ancestor of the propellers used in virtually every motorized vessel in the world today. At a single stroke,
Ericsson's screw propeller not only significantly increased the efficiency of the steam engine but, more important in terms of warship design, relocated the means of propulsion underwater, out of
harm's way.
As a means of promoting his invention, Ericsson built a tugboat, the Francis P. Ogden, which featured his new propeller, and launched it with great fanfare on the Thames on April 19, 1837. In her
first trial the boat exceeded ten knots, and was quickly dubbed the "Flying Devil." A triumphant Ericsson, hoping to win a fat contract from the Royal Navy, arranged to have the "Flying Devil" tow
the lords of the Admiralty in their barge from Somerset House to Blackburn and back. On this occasion the tugboat actually exceeded its previous ten-knot record, but their lordships were
unenthusiastic. Sir William Symonds, surveyor of the Royal Navy, dismissed the invention as impractical. "Even if the screw has the power to propel a vessel," he explained airily, "it would be found
altogether useless in practice because, the power being applied at the stern, it would be absolutely impossible to make the vessel steer." The touchy and thin-skinned Ericsson took the rejection to
heart. He suspected, possibly with cause, that the English held his nationality against him. His abiding distrust of the British—stemming from what he believed was their mistrust of
him—undoubtedly played a part in his decision in 1839 to abandon London and move across the Atlantic to New York. It was there that he would solve the remaining problems relating to his
sub-aquatic system.
Ericsson came to the United States at the urging of an American naval officer named Robert F. Stockton, who had "discovered" the Swedish engineer in London and been impressed by his energy and
vision. Stockton was a man of independent wealth and considerable political influence and was eager to have Ericsson design ships for the U.S. Navy. But at the time of Ericsson's arrival, Stockton's
political clout was temporarily on the wane due to a change of parties in Washington, and he was not immediately able to obtain the contract he sought. For a time, Ericsson was forced to fend for
himself. He soon managed to drum up interest in his screw propeller, and within three years he had five propeller craft operating, two on the Great Lakes and three on the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal.
Finally, in 1842, Robert Stockton's political star was once again in the ascendant, and he was able at last to arrange for Ericsson to design and supervise the construction of an experimental
corvette for the navy. She was built in Philadelphia and was eventually christened the Princeton, in honor of Stockton's birthplace, in New Jersey. She was immediately hailed as an engineering
triumph and was greatly admired in naval circles on both sides of the Atlantic. Many of her innovative features would eventually be incorporated in the Monitor, including forced air blowers and
furnaces that burned anthracite coal for greater efficiency. The ship was designed around Ericsson's screw propeller and was powered by a radically new steam engine of his design that was powerful
enough to move the ship at high speed yet compact enough to fit easily into the bottom of the hull, completely below the waterline. With both the engine and the means of propulsion thus shielded from
enemy guns, the basic elements of his sub-aquatic system were at last in place. To be sure, the Princeton did not incorporate the full system—she was built of wood, for one thing, instead of
iron, and she carried a full set of sails, like any ordinary warship of the day. But to anyone who understood naval architecture, she represented a radical break with the past.
The Princeton exceeded all expectations in terms of speed, maneuverability, and firepower. Her main battery, a huge twelve-inch gun that had been designed by Ericsson prior to his departure from
England and cast under his supervision at the Mersey Iron Works, near Liverpool, was recognized as a highly significant achievement in naval ordnance. Ericsson christened his gun the Orator, because,
he said, it was intended to speak with authority. (The name was later changed to the Oregon, in part to downplay its British origins.) The gun was so powerful it could fire a 225-pound projectile
five miles with unequaled accuracy and could penetrate fifty-seven inches of oak timber, or four inches of wrought iron, all of which made the Princeton the most formidable naval vessel in the world.
Stockton, who had aspirations as an engineer himself, designed a companion gun that he arranged to have mounted in the place of honor, on the forecastle, while Ericsson's gun was relegated to the
quarterdeck. Stockton's gun, which he christened Peacemaker, was the same caliber as Ericsson's, but he had decided it was unnecessary to follow the Swede's cautious example of strengthening the
breech with transverse banding. On the occasion of a private demonstration before a distinguished group of guests during the ship's inaugural visit to Washington, Stockton's gun exploded and burst at
the breech, killing eight onlookers, including the secretary of state, the secretary of the navy, and Colonel David Gardiner of New York, the father of President John Tyler's fiancee. In the
resulting scandal, Stockton managed to shift the blame to the innocent Ericsson and then used his political weight to see to it that Ericsson was never paid for his work in designing and building the
Princeton. Over the next several years, Ericsson tried time and again to clear his name and get the money due him, without success.
Interestingly, one of his staunchest champions in Washington during the years of controversy and counterclaims was Stephen Mallory, a senator from Florida and chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee,
who frequently took the engineer's side against the navy. Years later, Mallory would become the Confederate secretary of the navy.
In the years following the Princeton disaster, Ericsson was kept busy in the courts of law, suing the navy to recover his costs, and also as a means of protecting himself against industrial pirates
who were blithely ignoring his patents on his increasingly popular screw propeller. In 1846 and 1847, he involved himself in some relatively unimportant government work, first designing a theoretical
ironclad for the House Committee on Naval Affairs, and then advising the Treasury Department on the design of its revenue cutters.
On October 28, 1848, Ericsson took out U.S. citizenship, a circumstance in which he always took considerable pride. It was around this time that he also returned to his first love, his flame engine,
which he had now rechristened the "caloric engine." He was pleased to discover the small versions of his invention found a ready market and soon provided him with a modest but regular income. Then,
in 1851, having become convinced that a large caloric engine was equally practicable, he persuaded a group of Wall Street capitalists to finance the construction of a 260-foot-long merchant ship
powered by his caloric engines, which was christened the Ericsson. Because he wanted the ship to be a showcase for his caloric engines, and did not want the public confused by any other aspect of her
performance, he deliberately designed her as a paddlewheeler, rather than a propeller-driven vessel. In a trial against a steam-powered competitor, the Ericsson made ten knots and could not match the
steamer's sixteen knots, but she proved to be vastly more economical to run, consuming only six tons of coal in twenty-four hours, as against the competition's fifty-eight tons. Horace Greeley, of
the New York Tribune, announced that "the age of steam is closed, the age of caloric opens. Fulton and Watt belong to the past. Ericsson is the great mechanical genius of the present and future."
And then once again, on the cusp of his latest success, disaster struck. On April 27, 1854, in a freak storm, the Ericsson foundered off the New Jersey coast. Although she was later successfully
recovered, the financiers who had bankrolled her, and therefore owned her, insisted on replacing her experimental engines with conventional steam. For Ericsson, it was another bitter disappointment.
But by that time, the inventor's attention was once again diverted by an opportunity to build his "sub-aquatic system of naval warfare." Halfway around the world, war had broken out between Russia
and Turkey in the Crimea.
In the first weeks of that war, on November 30, 1853, a Russian naval squadron of six sailing ships and three steamers, all built of wood, caught up with a Turkish squadron of nine sailing ships and
two steamers, also built of wood, lying at anchor in the little harbor of Sinope, on the Black Sea. The Russian ships were equipped with shell guns, while the Turks had only iron shot. In a short but
devastating action, the Russians' exploding shells cut the Turks to pieces, with a frightful loss of lives. Ten of the eleven Turkish vessels were either sunk or captured, and only one managed to
escape. Russian losses were negligible.
The massacre at Sinope was news around the world, and its basic lesson—that wooden ships were powerless to resist shell guns—was duly noted by everyone concerned with the construction of
naval vessels. In New York, John Ericsson read the reports of the battle with intense interest. As a native of Sweden, he was distressed that his homeland's historic enemy, the detested Russians,
should have gained the victory, but as an engineer, he was pleased that the evidence was so unequivocal. Here, finally, was clear documentation of the devastating effect of the Paixhans shell guns
against wooden hulls. When France and Britain came into the war on the side of the Ottoman Empire, Ericsson decided the time was propitious to strike a blow against the Russians, and to offer his
"sub-aquatic system of naval warfare" to the world. As a result of his years in London, he still mistrusted the English, so he decided to try to interest French emperor Louis Napoleon in his warship.
On September 26, 1854, after several months of intense creative effort directed toward refining his vision and getting it down on paper, Ericsson submitted to the French government, through the
Swedish consul in New York, a full set of plans for his invincible shot- and shell-proof man-of-war.
The actual plans have long since disappeared, but a copy of Ericsson's covering letter to the emperor remains, and its description of the vessel confirms that she was in large measure the same ship
the world would one day recognize as the Monitor. Reading the description today, one can still sense the almost childlike enthusiasm Ericsson had for the project.
"The vessel [is] to be composed entirely of iron," he begins unequivocally, as if to dispel any possible confusion on that most basic point. "The midship section is triangular, with a broad, hollow
keel, loaded with about 200 tons of cast-iron blocks to balance the heavy upper works. The ends of the vessel are moderately sharp." Then, "The deck, made of plate iron, is curved both longitudinally
and transversely, the curvature being 5 feet." Here we see where the search for a sub-aquatic system has finally led Ericsson. The vessel, like an iceberg, is now almost entirely submerged. Not only
are the engines, steering mechanism, and means of propulsion under water, but so is virtually the whole ship—including living quarters and workstations for most of the crew. The deck, only a
portion of which is above the surface, has become the top of the vessel, a fortified shield that "is covered with a lining of sheet iron 3 inches thick." The deck extends out beyond the hull on all
sides, like the flight deck of a modern aircraft carrier, and because it curves downward, the edges actually lie below water level. Ericsson assures the emperor that "shot striking the deck are
deflected, whilst shell exploding on it will prove harmless."
Another defensive measure: The deck "is made to project 8 feet over the rudder and propeller." In other words, not only will the motive power and steering be under water, but they will be protected
by an iron umbrella, overlapping the sides and end of the vessel.
Only a small part of the ship was to ride above the waterline, but this turned out to be one of the ship's most important features, described by Ericsson as "a semi-globular turret of plate 6 inches
thick revolving on a vertical column by means of steam power and appropriate gear work." The turret, which housed the vessel's main armament, was not to be the cylindrical "cheesebox" associated with
the Monitor but a "globular" hemisphere, more like a half grapefruit resting upside down on a plate. Because the ship had no masts and no funnel, the turret could traverse a full 360 degrees and fire
in any direction without endangering or injuring the ship. Ericsson never took credit for inventing the turret—he said the idea went back to the ancient Greeks—but it would prove to be one
of the most important, and most copied, features of the Monitor.
Both the "sub-aquatic" crew and the various steam engines that powered the ship and the turret would require constant supplies of fresh air, and Ericsson described how he planned to provide it. "Air
for the combustion in the boilers and for ventilation within the vessel is supplied by a large self-acting centrifugal blower, the fresh air being drawn in through numerous small holes in the turret.
The products of combustion in the boilers and the impure air from the vessel are forced out by conductors leading to a cluster of small holes in the deck and turret."
Visibility would of necessity be highly limited, but the captain and those members of the crew who needed to see what was going on in surrounding waters would use periscopes, or, as he describes
them, "reflecting telescopes, capable of being protruded or withdrawn at pleasure."

Excerpt
Reign of Iron The Story of the First Battling Ironclads, the Monitor and the Merrimack By Nelson, James L. Perennial ISBN: 0060524049
Chapter One
Sink Before Surrender
Saturday, March 8, 1862, was a beautiful day in Virginia. A gale had blown itself out the night before, and behind it came clear, warm weather, a high-pressure system on the tail of the storm. A day
more like May than March, many people felt.
In Norfolk and Portsmouth, towns that faced one another across the Elizabeth River, excitement was spreading like fire, just as it had the year before, in the days leading up to secession and the
burning of the shipyard. The Confederate States Ship Virginia, an ironclad built on the burned-out hull of the old USS Merrimack, was getting under way.
There had been no announcement. In the interest of military security, the Gosport Naval Shipyard had been closed to visitors for months. Not even Virginia's crew knew where they were bound.
But there was no concealing her movements. Virginia was a monstrous vessel, 275 feet long. She was 38 ½ feet on the beam, and though the crowds watching from the shore could not see this, she
was burdened by a ponderous 22 feet of draft.
With black smoke rolling out of her tall stack she edged away from the dock, heading into the stream. Word spread fast, and people rushed to the riverbank to see her go. They had been waiting eight
months for this moment.
Most of Virginia was underwater, not only her massive hull, but also her afterdeck, the last 50 feet or so of the ship, which was 6 inches below the surface. All that the citizens watching could see
was a wedgeshaped false bow, barely breaking the surface, and her ironclad shield, like a barn roof floating on the river, 8 feet high. The lengths of plate iron running vertically along the shield
gleamed black with the coat of tallow smeared on them to help enemy shot bounce off. On the forward flagstaff flew the red pennant of an admiral. On the ensign staff was the Confederate national
flag, the "Stars and Bars."
The roof of the casemate, the "shield deck," was mainly an iron grating to let air and light into the gun deck below. But still the gun deck was "badly ventilated, very uncomfortable," and so gloomy
that lanterns were needed the full length of the deck, even on a fine, sunny day such as the 8th.
For that reason most of the Virginia's crew were crowded on the shield deck, about 16 feet wide and 120 feet long. In keeping with traditions of the sailing navy -- men before the mast and officers
aft -- the crew stood in front of the smokestack, the officers aft of it, though the helm and pilothouse were at the forward end of the casemate.
Foremost of the officers was Franklin Buchanan, appointed admiral in command of the James River squadron just a few weeks before. Sixty-one years old, balding with a tussle of white hair ringing his
head, Buchanan was a hard-driving disciplinarian, navy to the marrow, the "beau ideal of a naval officer of the old school, with his tall form, harsh features and clear piercing eyes." He was a man
with a great deal on his mind.
Virginia had never been under way before. She was powered by the Merrimack's old engines, engines that had been condemned by the U.S. Navy. Her engineer, H. Ashton Ramsay, had served aboard the ship
while she was still the USS Merrimack, and he reported, "From my past and present experience with the engines of this vessel, I am of the opinion that they can not be relied upon. During a cruise of
two years ... they were continually breaking down, at times when least expected."
Buchanan had quizzed Ramsay about the engines before getting under way. He asked about their reliability. He asked how they would endure the shock of Virginia ramming another vessel. He asked if they
should first make a trial trip.
Ramsay answered as best as he could. "She will have to travel some ten miles down the river before we get to the [Hampton] Roads. If any trouble develops, I'll report it. That will be sufficient
trial trip."
But Buchanan had more than engines to worry about. The crew were new to the ship. Construction had been ongoing until the very end -- that very morning he had ordered workmen off the ship so she
could get under way -- and the men had had no chance to drill onboard. They had never fired the guns. "The officers and crew were strangers to the ship and to each other," one of Virginia's
lieutenants wrote.
Many of the crew were strangers to ships of any description. The South had a chronic dearth of sailors, and Virginia's men had been hustled from the army or recruited from among the yard workers or
from local militia units. Scattered among them were a few veteran sailors, some survivors of the desperate battle for Albemarle Sound. "They proved to be as gallant and trusty a body of men as anyone
could wish to command," recalled Midshipman Virginius Newton, "but what a contrast they made to a crew of trained jack tars!"
Virginia was a "novelty in naval construction," her properties unknown, and she was still incomplete. There had been no time to fit the protective shutters over the gunports. The ship was riding too
high in the water. The lower edge of her casemate, which was supposed to be two feet underwater, was only a few inches under, leaving her lightly armored waterline vulnerable.
The enemy had at least five major warships on station, protected by heavy shore batteries at Newport News and the guns of Fortress Monroe and Fort Wool.
Any commanding officer would have been excused for insisting on a sea trial, a shakedown, a practice run, before steaming into battle. Most of the men onboard Virginia assumed that was what they were
doing. Only a few knew the truth ...

A Residence on Fifth • Introduction to Personages of Importance • The Southern Bug-bear • Advice from Men of Wealth and Influence • At the Delamater Ironworks • 95 Franklin
Street • Impromptu Examination in Gearing Design • Rejection of a Long-Cherished Scroll
Mr.Theodorus Hubbard. Responding to the invitation of Mr. Micah Eaker. Theo gave the butler his card, stripping off his dripping mackintosh, glancing resentfully around the interior of 372 Fifth
Avenue, New York City, to which the note waiting at his hotel that afternoon had invited him.
Theo Hubbard was no larger than a boy. But he'd never let his size confine the scope of his dreams. At twenty-six he'd already earned the confidence of the engineer in chief of the Navy. At the
moment he was in civilian clothes, a rumpled brown suit of only modest quality. His lips were firm, his blue eyes determined, his small chin smooth-shaven. For once his hands were free of coal dust
and machine grease, though not, he suspected, for long considering what his orders laid out to accomplish over the next ninety days.
-- You are expected. If you will follow me, sir.
The room into which he was shown from the chill of an October afternoon had been decorated by someone of taste. Lavender moiré draperies puddled to a figured carpet. Gold-on-cream wallpaper
glowed beneath glass torchieres. A black leather settee stood between the front windows, and a huge fireplace mirror reflected prints of the Hudson Valley. A fire crackled on the grate, its reddish
heart well nourished, he saw, by a good draft. By the finest Pennsylvania anthracite too, by the smell. Three men in black broadcloth stood around it, holding segars.
-- Mister Theodorus Hubbard, the butler announced. The paneled door closed softly.
-- Mister Hubbard. I am Micah Eaker. Thank you for responding to my note.
A rubicund old gentleman with white chin-tuft. His grip was dry, glance sharp. -- I had not expected so young a man.
-- The Navy considers me old enough for my responsibilities, sir.
-- I am sure you will prove up to the mark. My own boy is in the naval service too; in North Carolina, I believe. Though we do not correspond just now.
-- I have met an Eaker.
-- We must compare notes. But now let me introduce you to two very good friends of mine. Mister G. L. Barnes, in the employ of Mister Griswold, of Albany. And this is Mister Cornelius Bushnell.
Gentlemen, may I present Theodorus Hubbard. Engineer Hubbard has been noticed in the papers both at Fort Sumter and at Gosport, and more recently in the battle at Hatteras.
Theo shook hands, his natural bumptiousness daunted. Barnes was unknown to him, but John A. Griswold was a major industrialist and very well connected politically -- specifically with the former
governor of New York and current secretary of state, William Seward. And Cornelius Scranton Bushnell was probably the most influential man in Connecticut . . . grocery magnate, railroad tycoon,
industrialist. They looked down at him as Eaker suggested he help himself to a segar, that whiskey was on the side table, that they all might be more comfortable seated.
-- Well, sir. It seems appropriate to congratulate you, Bushnell began. Tall and self-assured, with upper lip shaven and a dark beard brushing his stock. -- I am given to understand the chief
engineer has put you in charge of our ironclad project. The counterbalance to that great Southern bug-bear, the Merrimack.
-- Thank you, sir, but it may prove no bug-bear. And I believe Captain Ericsson would claim the distinction of being in charge.
They chuckled. -- I'm sure he would, but as the Navy's representative you will be responsible for a good deal of the construction. As such, we thought our views might be helpful.
-- I should be very glad to hear them.
Old Eaker said, -- Before we begin, boys, you might like to know Hubbard here is from Gideon Welles's hometown.
-- From Hartford, eh? Do you know the secretary, Mr. Hubbard?
-- I have had the pleasure of corresponding with him.
Theo didn't add that it had been in the form of a letter to the then editor of the Hartford Times. From his first startle he was beginning to feel more comfortable. This was the sort of personal
examination wealthy, powerful men liked to have with underlings. Which was fine with him.
One day he intended to be one of them.
Theodorus Coggswell Hubbard had been born on a farm in Weatogue. At twelve he'd walked to Hartford and signed on as a machinery oiler at the Hanbury cotton mill. Hard work, respectful address, and
natural ability made him assistant foreman at fifteen, foreman at sixteen, and journeyman machinist and head of loom maintenance at seventeen. On his eighteenth birthday he applied to the best school
he could afford, living on his savings as he completed his education.
When he graduated, the largest toolmaker in town hired him as a master machinist. When the company failed in '55, a notice in the Courant of a board to hire steam engineers in government service
caught his eye.
He'd taken the next morning's train to Washington, changing at New Haven, New York, and Philadelphia, sitting up all night on a hard bench seat. The questions were practical ones, easily answered by
anyone who'd run a stationary engine. He was assigned as third assistant engineer in the old paddle wheeler Susquehanna. He went from there to first assistant in Mississippi after her return from
shelling the Chinese at Pei Ho, then to Owanee as first engineer. He'd been about to resign and seek a position in engine design when the war had come.
Clever men with vision, such as Drake and Morse and Rockefeller, were changing the face of the country. America would bring the world wheels of steel and wings of bronze, nerved by electricity and
powered by steam. Men like Cyrus McCormick, Eli Whitney, and Joseph Henry were famous and rich. Theo Hubbard wanted these things with the desperation of a man born poor and nearing thirty.
He had one more reason for bidding farewell to the ocean waves. There were no applicants for the position at present, but he had no doubt of his eligibility for marriage should a suitable candidate
appear.
Barnes said vigorously, -- A fine figure of a man, Welles. Sees to the heart of a matter.
When the others murmured agreement, Bushnell took up the thread. -- When I presented Captain Ericsson's proposal, he saw at once how revolutionary it was. My own plan looked unimaginative beside it.
But we have ironmaking capacity for both and for many more.
-- Quite so, said Barnes. Then, to Theo, -- Now you, sir, are a protégé, one might say, of Mister Isherwood. Not so?
-- I work for the chief engineer.
-- Who has great confidence in you. You're a loyal employee.
-- My previous masters have thought so.
-- And your opinion of him?
Theo hesitated, searching the hard faces. Poker would be a child's game to these shrewd financiers, lobbyists, political fixers. -- We worked together, trying to save Merrimack in Norfolk. His
"Experiments in Steam Engineering" is a masterpiece. I'm proud to follow where he leads.
-- Well said.
-- Quite so.
Eaker patted his shoulder. -- Well, sir, you leave no doubt where you stand. Let us inquire further. You have seen considerable service afloat. What is your opinion of Captain Ericsson's design? Not
so much as to its buildability but as to its . . . seaworthiness?
They were all eyeing him now. Theo said, -- I've only seen sketches. There are many good points. But I cannot say I've fully matured my opinion.
-- Really?
-- Yes sir. I only arrived in the City today. I was preparing to report to Captain Ericsson this evening when your note arrived.
Barnes said, -- And so you shall; we shall not keep you. We wish you the best of luck in your new post, sir. And to assist you in your efforts . . .
The envelope was of heavy, calendared, expensive paper. Theo accepted it with raised eyebrows. -- What is this, sir?
Old Eaker murmured, -- A letter of credit, sir, on Eaker and Callowell -- my firm -- for the sum of two thousand dollars. The Union is in peril, sir. While young stalwarts like my son defend her with
their lives, it is only meet we older patriots defend her with our purses. You may draw on it for any expenditure you think fit to advance the cause or make your own efforts easier.
Theo found himself stammering. -- I must say . . . as I think fit . . . You will require an accounting?
-- I do not think that will be necessary, Eaker said gravely.
-- Only a word of caution, Bushnell put in.
-- A caution, sir? Theo fingered the envelope, still in shock. Two thousand was what a first engineer drew a year.
-- Rather let us call it advice. Barnes glanced at the others. -- Well-meant counsel from those inclined to be your friends. That is, if you have any brief from the chief engineer or the chief
constructor or any other quarter to frustrate Captain Ericsson's efforts in the country's defense, you may find your career prospects shortened. If, on the other hand, you lend him your full
assistance, and he meets with the success we expect, you will find them much enhanced. Other opportunities will beckon after the insurrection is put down next summer. Aid him with your seagoing
expertise. And let us know -- confidentially, of course -- if you should foresee any problems.
Theo stood with gloves in one hand, the envelope in the other. Should he tell them he didn't need threats or rewards to do his duty? Or simply bow and withdraw? One would give him a moment's
satisfaction. The other, not only two thousand dollars to spend as he wished, but preferment in business when peace returned. These were powerful men. The sort he'd always planned to serve . . . and
to become.
He said quietly, -- My orders are to assist Mister Ericsson in any way possible. Of course I will give him the benefit of my experience, such as it is.
And that must have struck just the right note, for all three nodded.
-- Quite so, quite so, old Eaker said. He raised his voice. -- Parkinson! Show our new friend to the door.
A locofoco flared in the dark, then was applied to a short pipe. Theo gazed up at the shadows of great brick chimneys, brewing with a woolen tangle of smoke and steam; serrated factory rooves; a
great crane that flung its arms wide above the gray North River, an iron scarecrow loftier than the highest steeple in Hartford. The lamp at the gate lit a red pennant that flapped endlessly in the
breeze.
The Cornelius H. Delamater Ironworks was the largest steam engine manufactory in the New World. It had provided the propeller and boilers for the first screw-propelled warship, Princeton, and
dominated the growing market for screw-propelled merchant ships. They'd built Ericsson's radical caloric-propelled ship, driven not by steam but by heated air. It hadn't worked very well, but only a
genius could conceive of replacing steam itself. Hubbard was standing on Thirteenth; the works spanned six hundred feet all the way to Fourteenth.
A steam whistle shrieked, and hundreds of men hurried toward him, grease-stained, exhausted-looking, thoughts intent no doubt on beef and potatoes and beer. Quitting time, and well after dark.
Delamater must be laying on extra hours.
Inquiring where he might find John Ericsson, he was told the engineer wasn't there. He maintained an office at his home, 95 Franklin Street.
Twenty minutes later, after a brisk walk through gaslit downtown, Hubbard was shown into an upstairs room by a cowed-looking housekeeper. The inventor of the steam fire engine, the screw propeller,
and the forced-draft blower sat in rolled-up shirtsleeves at an enormous drafting table. His balding head was bent under an intense light and considerable heat from large oil lamps with polished
reflectors.
-- What the hell do you want?
The inventor barked the words without turning his head. His Swedish accent was overlaid with Scots. Stocky, with bearded cheeks but clean upper lip, his forehead was as broad and his expression as
determined as any physiognomist could wish. The nib continued to scratch, noting calculations with incredible rapidity on a sheet of foolscap, then moving back to specify the length of a lever arm.
-- Sir, I am ordered to assist you in the construction of your steam battery.
-- And who the devil are you?
-- First Engineer Theodorus Hubbard, United States Navy. He extended his gloved hand, but the man waved it off impatiently.
-- I am no schoolmaster, sir. Why does the Navy insist on sending me dolts to instruct? I have no time. Good day.
-- I'm not here for instruction. Mister Isherwood feels I may be of service in lightening your load.
For the first time Ericsson looked at him, blinking reddened, pouchy eyes. He obviously hadn't slept for a long time. His shirt was ink-stained, his hands and fingers black. It looked as if he'd
wiped his pen on his forehead. -- Isherwood, eh? You one of his minions?
-- I'm a naval engineer.
-- A machinery oiler, you mean. Ericsson nodded at the diagram. -- No doubt you can drive a steam engine once it is explained to you. But only those familiar with mathematics can understand my
construction. If you don't know the calculus, you had better go back to your stoking.
Stung, Theo transferred his attention from the irascible tyrant to the diagram before him. And was struck speechless.
Pinned out under the artificial brilliance was a drawing of such elegance, purity of style, and, yes, beauty that for a moment his dazzled eye saw a work of art rather than an abstraction of
machinery. He searched in vain for clutter or clumsiness, for the usual contrivances lesser designers employed to cram machinery within the confines of a hull. All was simplicity, efficiency, direct
action. Most amazing, Ericsson had been sketching it freehand. No pencilled tracings lay about. He was drawing direct to manufacturing diagram, and doing his calculations as he drew. The brain before
him was accomplishing the work of four men simultaneously.
The Swede was smiling contemptuously. Theo cleared his throat. -- It seems to be . . . the rotating gear for a gun cupola.
Ericsson hoisted heavy eyebrows. -- A naval officer in here yesterday identified it as the works of a coffee grinder. Anything strike you as interesting about it?
Theo gave it several seconds' more examination. The terrific weight of the iron cupola, or turret, had been dealt with in an unusual way. In other proposals, such as Coles's sketch in Blackwood's,
the weight rested on the bottom edge, supported on balls or friction rollers. This drawing showed a ring but no bearings. Instead a central spindle supported the entire massive assembly, guns, men,
and armor, transmitting the weight downward through an iron pedestal to the keel. He pointed this out, and the inventor nodded. -- The advantage?
-- Less friction. Thus, a smaller drive engine. Less mechanical advantage necessary in the cogwheel train. A greater speed of rotation?
-- What strikes you as the weak point of such a system?
This threw him for a moment; he was not used to hearing any mechanical contrivance described as a "system," a word usually reserved for philosophical reflections. He finally pointed to the gear
train. -- I should say it lies in the possibility of a bending moment developing. Should the craft take a steep roll --
-- This wedge assembly raises or lowers the turret. In heavy seas it would be lowered, to rest on the bronze base ring.
-- I see that. But if, when jacked up on the spindle, it should be struck by a heavy shot, could it not jam? I should look into the centros and clearances on these cycloidal gears.
They discussed mating and generating surfaces, pitch angle and backlash. The arrangement seemed unimpeachable, and at last Theo said, -- It is brilliant in its conception and extremely interesting in
its arrangements.
-- It merely derives from the circumstances.
-- How do you mean, sir, only derives? The whole concept of your craft seems to me quite novel and original.
Ericsson rubbed his eyes. The glare was making Theo's own water; he could not imagine how the man endured it. The inventor said through gritted teeth, -- Is this world composed only of imbeciles? The
Merrimack has progressed so far, no structure of large dimensions can be completed in time to meet her. On the other hand, the heavy armor all observers report means only the largest guns will be of
any use against her. The waters of the Southern rivers are shallow. They are also narrow, making it difficult to return fire from along the banks by maneuvering to present a broadside. We are thus
driven to a small craft mounting heavy guns, of shallow draft, with a rotating turret. It is all so obvious I only had to explain it to the Navy board three times.
Theo did not like being called dolt and imbecile, but restrained his anger. The man was under terrific strain. -- As I understand it, you have only ninety days to produce this marvel, along with
hull, driving machinery, internal arrangements. In a navy yard this would scarcely suffice to begin the planning. But you have promised the vessel in that time.
-- Good, you know of the time limitation in the contract. Are you aware we also had to post bond that it will be invulnerable to enemy shot? We will not be paid in full until it passes that test. If
it does not, all monies advanced for construction must be refunded within thirty days.
Theo thought of the men he'd met at Eaker's. He wondered at their daring and envied their ability to wager such vast sums. Either they were selfless patriots, or immense profits were in the offing.
-- That is a shameful reservation.
-- I should not have signed it had we not already ordered the materials. Well, my battery will do all they require. I personally feel it will render nugatory the present superiority of England and
France over this country. But speed is of the essence. I am dividing the work among three leading establishments. The Novelty Ironworks, on the far side of Manhattan, is tooling up for the turret and
associated machinery; they have the only steam-powered presses capable of forming heavy plate to a circular section. Rowland laid the hull-keel at Continental today. Unfortunately I had no time to
attend. And Mister Delamater is building the engines, also of my design.
-- The chief engineer has high regard for all these companies, especially Novelty. He worked there early in his career.
-- Then he may not be as pedestrian as I have assumed.
-- Mister Isherwood is not a pedestrian man, sir. Though he is no universal genius like yourself.
He'd heard the old inventor was not insusceptible to flattery. He regarded it not as an emollient but as his due. But Ericsson still sounded suspicious. -- Yet he's trying to push the Bureau's
design. So far my supporters have managed to hold out for the genuine article, the only truly invulnerable floating battery.
Theo remembered his meeting with some of those "supporters" at Eaker's. Somehow Ericsson had managed to engineer not only machines, but a political-industrial lobby of considerable influence. -- It
is a most ingenious ship.
-- Not a "ship," sir. It is a fighting machine. Impregnable. Irresistible. Unsinkable. Ericsson spied the housekeeper lurking on the landing and shouted for coffee. -- So you're here to assist me.
How?
-- In whatever capacity you wish. I have some ability in drafting.
-- Mister MacCord does the working drawings. He nodded behind him, and Theo, looking over what he saw now was another drafting board, realized an assistant had overheard the entire conversation.
-- Then if you wish me to hoof them back and forth, I will gladly do that. Whatever you like. I believe in your vision and will do all in my power to assist you in its realization. And the Navy is
paying my salary. You need furnish nothing in that direction.
Ericsson cocked his head. -- Can you do without sleep?
-- That is one thing one learns in an engine room. I will sleep no more in the next ninety days than you.
The engineer looked skeptical. He said slowly, drawing a pen through a wiper: -- You might be young enough to train. If you are capable of checking a calculation for any errors fatigue may
interpolate, I can put you to use. As well as in carrying instructions to the various contractors. Ensuring plans are being carried out to specifications.
-- It will be my honor to work under you, sir.
A frosty, remote grimace. -- Perhaps we shall give you a trial. Coffee, Hubble? I confess I need a cup.
-- Hubbard, sir. I would be honored to take one with you, Captain.
Ericsson included MacCord in the invitation; he and Theo exchanged cool bows. As they gulped the bitter brew, and Ericsson began explaining his time line for construction, Theo recalled his own
scroll, reposing within his coat. He too thought the Navy hidebound, unwilling to step into the nineteenth century. Perhaps the great man's backers would be interested in another new machine of war.
And thinking of them, he remembered their confidential charge, and cleared his throat.
-- I will be happy also to give you the benefit of my experience, sir.
Ericsson looked up sharply. -- What do you mean?
-- I have spent years at sea; have been through storms and so forth. I could look over the design from that aspect.
-- That will not be required. Matters of buoyancy and stress can be foreseen better from the viewpoint of the experienced engineer than from the untutored guesses of seamen.
-- Then let me ask your indulgence in one thing more, sir.
Feeling perhaps the moment was not right, yet unable to resist, Theo brought it out into the light. Conscious suddenly of the erasures and inkblots, false starts, conjectures unsupported by
calculation, he unrolled it at waist level.
Ericsson scooted his stool back from it. -- This would be . . . ?
-- It is a . . . submersible boat. Powered by a liquid fuel derived from petroleum oil.
This time Ericsson's smile was hawkish, contemptuous, his eyes sliding from the very sight of the document. -- I have no desire to be subjected to amateurish fantasies, sir. Nor with your pretense to
knowledge of the mysterious ways of the sea. Let us deal with realities. We must build the machine by January 12. My machine. Just as I have drawn it. A race against time. If we lose, the
Confederates will rule the waves. Is that quite clear?
-- Of course, sir. But I thought certain ideas --
Ericsson's attention was back in the board. Dipping his pen, he began etching in a watertight door. -- Let me make myself plain, Hobart. Or whatever your name is. Ideas are not required of you. You
are here to help me save the Union. Shall we confine our relations to that, sir?
Meekly, Theo agreed.

Abstract: Disc 1. First invasion : the War of 1812, depicts how only 30 years after winning independence, the upstart United States waged another war with Great Britain. Motivated
by the high-seas capture of American sailors and the desire to annex Canadian lands, President Madison declared war. Thanks to the aim of a lone sniper, the skill of Andrew Jackson, the fortitude of
the people of Baltimore, and the events of September 11, 1814, America would triumph again, ensuring the survival of the fledgling nation. -- Save our history : the star-spangled banner, recaptures
the events that led Francis Scott Key to write the song which would become our national anthem. This song was written at the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. Disc 2. The battle of New
Orleans shows how General Andrew Jackson led a motley group of Creoles, freeborn blacks, local Native Americans and poorly armed frontiersmen to defeat the British army effectively ending the War of
1812. -- Biography: Andrew Jackson : a man for the people, shows how Andrew Jackson, known as "Old Hickory", took office in 1828 as President of the United States building on a reputation for
leadership earned in battle during the War of 1812. -- The great ships: the Ironclads, presents how in the 19th century, the iron clad war ships represented a radical advance over all earlier war
ships making the wooden Navies of the world obsolete overnight. -- Extreme history: surviving an 1812 battleship, provides a look at what it was like to engage the enemy from inside an 1812
battleship.

Abstract: This Civil War story centers on the events leading up to the fateful battle between the two ironclads, the Monitor and the Merrimac. When a Union Naval officer sinks
rather than burning the Merrimac and it falls into Confederate hands, he is discharged from the Navy. Later, he is reinstated and made a member of the crew for the USS Monitor, which is assigned the
task of hunting down and destroying the re-commissioned Merrimac, now the CSS Virginia.

Excerpt
Reign of Iron By James Nelson HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. Copyright © 2007 James Nelson

ISBN: 9780061365119
Chapter One
Sink Before Surrender
Saturday, March 8, 1862, was a beautiful day in Virginia. A gale had blown itself out the night before, and behind it came clear, warm weather, a high-pressure system on the tail of the storm. A day
more like May than March, many people felt.
In Norfolk and Portsmouth, towns that faced one another across the Elizabeth River, excitement was spreading like fire, just as it had the year before, in the days leading up to secession and the
burning of the shipyard. The Confederate States Ship Virginia, an ironclad built on the burned-out hull of the old USS Merrimack, was getting under way.
There had been no announcement. In the interest of military security, the Gosport Naval Shipyard had been closed to visitors for months. Not even Virginia's crew knew where they were bound.
But there was no concealing her movements. Virginia was a monstrous vessel, 275 feet long. She was 38 ½ feet on the beam, and though the crowds watching from the shore could not see this, she
was burdened by a ponderous 22 feet of draft.
With black smoke rolling out of her tall stack she edged away from the dock, heading into the stream. Word spread fast, and people rushed to the riverbank to see her go. They had been waiting eight
months for this moment.
Most of Virginia was underwater, not only her massive hull, but also her afterdeck, the last 50 feet or so of the ship, which was 6 inches below the surface. All that the citizens watching could see
was a wedgeshaped false bow, barely breaking the surface, and her ironclad shield, like a barn roof floating on the river, 8 feet high. The lengths of plate iron running vertically along the shield
gleamed black with the coat of tallow smeared on them to help enemy shot bounce off. On the forward flagstaff flew the red pennant of an admiral. On the ensign staff was the Confederate national
flag, the "Stars and Bars."
The roof of the casemate, the "shield deck," was mainly an iron grating to let air and light into the gun deck below. But still the gun deck was "badly ventilated, very uncomfortable," and so gloomy
that lanterns were needed the full length of the deck, even on a fine, sunny day such as the 8th.
For that reason most of the Virginia's crew were crowded on the shield deck, about 16 feet wide and 120 feet long. In keeping with traditions of the sailing navy -- men before the mast and officers
aft -- the crew stood in front of the smokestack, the officers aft of it, though the helm and pilothouse were at the forward end of the casemate.
Foremost of the officers was Franklin Buchanan, appointed admiral in command of the James River squadron just a few weeks before. Sixty-one years old, balding with a tussle of white hair ringing his
head, Buchanan was a hard-driving disciplinarian, navy to the marrow, the "beau ideal of a naval officer of the old school, with his tall form, harsh features and clear piercing eyes." He was a man
with a great deal on his mind.
Virginia had never been under way before. She was powered by the Merrimack's old engines, engines that had been condemned by the U.S. Navy. Her engineer, H. Ashton Ramsay, had served aboard the ship
while she was still the USS Merrimack, and he reported, "From my past and present experience with the engines of this vessel, I am of the opinion that they can not be relied upon. During a cruise of
two years ... they were continually breaking down, at times when least expected."
Buchanan had quizzed Ramsay about the engines before getting under way. He asked about their reliability. He asked how they would endure the shock of Virginia ramming another vessel. He asked if they
should first make a trial trip.
Ramsay answered as best as he could. "She will have to travel some ten miles down the river before we get to the [Hampton] Roads. If any trouble develops, I'll report it. That will be sufficient
trial trip."
But Buchanan had more than engines to worry about. The crew were new to the ship. Construction had been ongoing until the very end -- that very morning he had ordered workmen off the ship so she
could get under way -- and the men had had no chance to drill onboard. They had never fired the guns. "The officers and crew were strangers to the ship and to each other," one of Virginia's
lieutenants wrote.
Many of the crew were strangers to ships of any description. The South had a chronic dearth of sailors, and Virginia's men had been hustled from the army or recruited from among the yard workers or
from local militia units. Scattered among them were a few veteran sailors, some survivors of the desperate battle for Albemarle Sound. "They proved to be as gallant and trusty a body of men as anyone
could wish to command," recalled Midshipman Virginius Newton, "but what a contrast they made to a crew of trained jack tars!"
Virginia was a "novelty in naval construction," her properties unknown, and she was still incomplete. There had been no time to fit the protective shutters over the gunports. The ship was riding too
high in the water. The lower edge of her casemate, which was supposed to be two feet underwater, was only a few inches under, leaving her lightly armored waterline vulnerable.
The enemy had at least five major warships on station, protected by heavy shore batteries at Newport News and the guns of Fortress Monroe and Fort Wool.
Any commanding officer would have been excused for insisting on a sea trial, a shakedown, a practice run, before steaming into battle. Most of the men onboard Virginia assumed that was what they were
doing. Only a few knew the truth ...

Accession No: OCLC: 61372313
Abstract: Pocket diary for 1863, belonging to Pvt. William A. Patterson of Dement, Ogle County, Illinois, stationed with the 39th Illinois Regiment on St. Helena's Island
(S.C.) during the Civil War. Patterson, born in Squiretown, Essex County, N.J. in 1834, received the diary as a gift from his wife, Sarah, whose inscription to him, dated 1862, is on the first leaf.
There are a few miscellaneous notes at the beginning of the diary, but Patterson did not begin making regular entries in earnest until Feb. 11, 1863. By March 26 he is on St. Helena's Island, off the
coast of South Carolina, where Union troops were stationed to blockade the South's coastline. Patterson recounts the weather, the soldiers' "daguerrotype epidemic", with everyone getting a photograph
for one dollar, his strolls on the beach gathering shells to send home, the book he is reading--Samuel Canty's Chip boy of the dry dock (New York 1855), a patrol aboard the steamer New England out
into the Atlantic and up the coast, where he sees the ironclad Monitor at anchor, and hears the canonading from Fort Sumpter and from the gunboats at sea. His entry for May 9 notes that Richmond has
been taken. Patterson also describes his work standing guard on the picket line, handling 10-inch mortar shells, shoveling sand, unloading hay and oats from cargo ships, transporting goods to nearby
Morris Island, and launching surf rockets, as well as his participation in attacks of July 18-26 on Fort Wagner, Morris Island, and the constant shelling of rebel troops by the warships Monitor,
Pawnee, and Ironsides. On Sept. 6, the 39th Regiment goes to the front at night, prepared to attack Fort Wagner and Fort Gregg (Petersburg, Va.), but take possession of them when they are found
empty, with all rebel troops evacuated. On Dec. 1, the Regiment fires a salute in honor of Gen. Grant's victory. Throughout the diary, Patterson keeps track of all the items he buys and sells to make
money, such as jewelry, diaries, a watch chain, a watch, and a quarto Bible; he also bakes cakes and blackberry pies to sell to the men.

Excerpt
Reign of Iron By James Nelson HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. Copyright © 2007 James Nelson
All right reserved.
ISBN: 9780061365119
Chapter One
Sink Before Surrender
Saturday, March 8, 1862, was a beautiful day in Virginia. A gale had blown itself out the night before, and behind it came clear, warm weather, a high-pressure system on the tail of the storm. A day
more like May than March, many people felt.
In Norfolk and Portsmouth, towns that faced one another across the Elizabeth River, excitement was spreading like fire, just as it had the year before, in the days leading up to secession and the
burning of the shipyard. The Confederate States Ship Virginia, an ironclad built on the burned-out hull of the old USS Merrimack, was getting under way.
There had been no announcement. In the interest of military security, the Gosport Naval Shipyard had been closed to visitors for months. Not even Virginia's crew knew where they were bound.
But there was no concealing her movements. Virginia was a monstrous vessel, 275 feet long. She was 38 ½ feet on the beam, and though the crowds watching from the shore could not see this, she
was burdened by a ponderous 22 feet of draft.
With black smoke rolling out of her tall stack she edged away from the dock, heading into the stream. Word spread fast, and people rushed to the riverbank to see her go. They had been waiting eight
months for this moment.
Most of Virginia was underwater, not only her massive hull, but also her afterdeck, the last 50 feet or so of the ship, which was 6 inches below the surface. All that the citizens watching could see
was a wedgeshaped false bow, barely breaking the surface, and her ironclad shield, like a barn roof floating on the river, 8 feet high. The lengths of plate iron running vertically along the shield
gleamed black with the coat of tallow smeared on them to help enemy shot bounce off. On the forward flagstaff flew the red pennant of an admiral. On the ensign staff was the Confederate national
flag, the "Stars and Bars."
The roof of the casemate, the "shield deck," was mainly an iron grating to let air and light into the gun deck below. But still the gun deck was "badly ventilated, very uncomfortable," and so gloomy
that lanterns were needed the full length of the deck, even on a fine, sunny day such as the 8th.
For that reason most of the Virginia's crew were crowded on the shield deck, about 16 feet wide and 120 feet long. In keeping with traditions of the sailing navy -- men before the mast and officers
aft -- the crew stood in front of the smokestack, the officers aft of it, though the helm and pilothouse were at the forward end of the casemate.
Foremost of the officers was Franklin Buchanan, appointed admiral in command of the James River squadron just a few weeks before. Sixty-one years old, balding with a tussle of white hair ringing his
head, Buchanan was a hard-driving disciplinarian, navy to the marrow, the "beau ideal of a naval officer of the old school, with his tall form, harsh features and clear piercing eyes." He was a man
with a great deal on his mind.
Virginia had never been under way before. She was powered by the Merrimack's old engines, engines that had been condemned by the U.S. Navy. Her engineer, H. Ashton Ramsay, had served aboard the ship
while she was still the USS Merrimack, and he reported, "From my past and present experience with the engines of this vessel, I am of the opinion that they can not be relied upon. During a cruise of
two years ... they were continually breaking down, at times when least expected."
Buchanan had quizzed Ramsay about the engines before getting under way. He asked about their reliability. He asked how they would endure the shock of Virginia ramming another vessel. He asked if they
should first make a trial trip.
Ramsay answered as best as he could. "She will have to travel some ten miles down the river before we get to the [Hampton] Roads. If any trouble develops, I'll report it. That will be sufficient
trial trip."
But Buchanan had more than engines to worry about. The crew were new to the ship. Construction had been ongoing until the very end -- that very morning he had ordered workmen off the ship so she
could get under way -- and the men had had no chance to drill onboard. They had never fired the guns. "The officers and crew were strangers to the ship and to each other," one of Virginia's
lieutenants wrote.
Many of the crew were strangers to ships of any description. The South had a chronic dearth of sailors, and Virginia's men had been hustled from the army or recruited from among the yard workers or
from local militia units. Scattered among them were a few veteran sailors, some survivors of the desperate battle for Albemarle Sound. "They proved to be as gallant and trusty a body of men as anyone
could wish to command," recalled Midshipman Virginius Newton, "but what a contrast they made to a crew of trained jack tars!"
Virginia was a "novelty in naval construction," her properties unknown, and she was still incomplete. There had been no time to fit the protective shutters over the gunports. The ship was riding too
high in the water. The lower edge of her casemate, which was supposed to be two feet underwater, was only a few inches under, leaving her lightly armored waterline vulnerable.
The enemy had at least five major warships on station, protected by heavy shore batteries at Newport News and the guns of Fortress Monroe and Fort Wool.
Any commanding officer would have been excused for insisting on a sea trial, a shakedown, a practice run, before steaming into battle. Most of the men onboard Virginia assumed that was what they were
doing. Only a few knew the truth ...

Author(s): Faunce, S. E.?
Year: 1861-1863
Description: 2 items.
Language: English
Accession No: OCLC: 37869807
Abstract: Collection consists of a highly readable account of a Union soldier's experiences in the Civil War. It is in the form of a 48-page, typewritten memoir. There is no
substantial clue to the identity of the author, but an attached business card is that of an "S.E. Faunce." The memoir describes events surrounding the 13th Mass. Volunteer Infantry, including the
author's witnessing of the battle of Hampton Roads between the MONITOR and the MERRIMAC. Some relationship probably exists between the author of this memoir and Daniel W. Faunce, also of Plymouth.

Title: Family Papers,
1862-1964.
Author(s): Cotton, Charles Stanhope, 1843-1909.
Year: 1862-1964
Description: 0.5 cubic ft.
Language: English
Accession No: OCLC: 50233217
Abstract: The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence written by Charles S. Cotton to his son, Charles S. Cotton, Jr., from 1892 to 1905 and to his wife, Cecilia
Robertson Cotton, in 1898. During this time, Cotton was commanding officer of Mohican, the flagship Philadelphia on Pacific Station, and the auxiliary cruiser Harvard with the North Atlantic
Squadron. His letters are filled with details of his cruises and the people he met. There is also a book of calling cards that Cotton received on his travels from 1877 to 1898. In 1891, Charles
Cotton Jr. was the guest of his father on board USS Mohican on a cruise to Alaska. Mohican was to assist the Bering Sea fishing fleet protecting the sealing plants and fisheries. He kept a diary
during the cruise, which is included in the collection. Other materials include extracts from Minnesota's log for 7-14 March 1862, a pencil sketch done by Charles Cotton, Sr., and miscellaneous
family memorabilia relating to the senior Cotton. The collection is arranged in four series. Series I consists of Charles Cotton Sr.'s outgoing correspondence. Series II contains his incoming
correspondence. In Series III is Charles Cotton Jr.'s diary. Finally, Series IV holds miscellaneous documents, drawings, and Charles Sr.'s scrapbook of calling cards. The collection also includes a
significant letter from Charles Sr. to his parents. Written on 10 March 1862, it describes the battle between the Union and Confederate naval forces on 8-9 March. Cotton was on the Union steam
frigate Minnesota, which was grounded during the first day of battle and attacked by the Confederate ironclad Virginia after she had sunk USS Congress and Cumberland. The second day of battle saw the
arrival of Monitor and her subsequent engagement with Virginia.

to taking command of the first ironclad of the Union, the USS "Monitor," Worden was seized and held for several months as the first Union prisoner of war, after his delivery of verbal orders to Fort
Pickens at Pensacola Harbor, Florida (telling them not to surrender to the secessionists). He served as commander of the USS Monitor, in the battle between the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia, until
becoming severely wounded in the face during the latter part of the battle. Later, he served in the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron. He was appointed to the rank of Rear Admiral in 1872. He was
superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy from 1869 to 1874. He commanded the European Squadron from 1875 to 1877.

** Summary **
Robert Sheridan has been part of the Monitor story since the 1970s, when his research vessel first made sonar contact with the long-lost wreck of the famous Civil War ironclad and he collected the
first identifiable artifact. In this book he combines his perspective of the Monitor's discovery and efforts to save her artifacts with an authoritative history of the ship that revolutionized naval
design. Opening chapters discuss the ship's construction, her successful battle with the Merrimac in 1862 that spelled the end of wooden warships, and the Monitor's sinking later that year off Cape
Hatteras. Comments from the secretary of the navy who spurred the building of the Monitor, the captain who engaged her, and the young lieutenant who survived the sinking add color to these
historically significant events. Sheridan follows with a personal account of the discovery of the Monitor and addresses the issues of control over the wreck and its recovery. He also describes his
nearly twenty years of lobbying to convince Congress that the Monitor's deterioration called for action. The book's final chapters chronicle the raising of artifacts from this national treasure. This
is the first account to detail both the dramatic history of the Yankee ironclad and the extraordinary attempts to recover her.
** Author Notes **
Robert E. Sheridan is a marine geophysicist and a marine geologist who studied the North American Atlantic continental margin for forty years. A descendant of a Union army veteran, his work on the
discovery and recovery of the USS Monitor allowed him to combine his vocation with his avocation as a Civil War history enthusiast. Sheridan has a bachelor's degree in geology from Rutgers University
and master's and Ph.D. degrees in marine geophysics from Columbia University. He was an associate professor at the University of Delaware in 1973, when he was part of the team that discovered the
Monitor wreck off Cape Hatteras. Sheridan moved to Rutgers University as a full professor in 1986 and retired in 2003. He lives with his wife Karen in New Jersey

Chapter One Ericsson's Struggles
No story about the Union ironclad ship, the Monitor, can be told without first discussing John Ericsson. Rather than being an inspirational conception, the Monitor evolved in Ericsson's mind from
facts he amassed during his extensive career producing engineering innovations, including several military weapons and other types of ships. As in other scientific pursuits in the nineteenth century,
the engineering knowledge base was limited. Scientists and engineers had broad interests and a great diversity of experience and skills. They were far removed from the narrow specialists typical in
today's technical fields. Ericsson's interest in naval warships expanded as a natural part of his vocation as a professional engineer.
Born in Sweden in 1803 (Peterkin 1981a, 12; Mindell 2000, 33), Ericsson developed an early interest in technology. His father was involved in mine construction and encouraged his engineering drawing
skills. Even as a teenager, Ericsson provided drawings for a major canal project in Sweden and worked on the project as a surveyor (Hoehling 1976, 16).
Ericsson entered military service, as did many young Swedish men. Considered a well respected professional pursuit in the nineteenth century, the military offered the opportunity for technical
training not available elsewhere. First as a cadet in the mechanical corps of the Swedish navy, and later as an officer in the army artillery (Peterkin 1981a, 12; Mindell 2000, 34; Hoehling 1976,
16), Ericsson furthered his training and experience as an engineer. His interest in ships and propulsion stayed with him throughout his career. His artillery experience provided knowledge of the
capabilities of cannons and ammunition.
When he was twenty-one, Ericsson took a leave from the Swedish army and moved to London (Hoehling 1976, 16; Peterkin 1981a, 12). He wished to expand his engineering experience and demonstrate the
caloric hot-air engine that he had developed. Although his engine was unsuccessful, he began a productive ten year association with English engineer John Braithwaite.
After resigning from the Swedish army with the rank of captain in 1826 (Peterkin 1981a, 12), Ericsson continued his engineering career in England. He patented many mundane and pragmatic devices. His
air compressors, condensers, refrigerators, steam fire engines, and pumps serviced towns, mines, breweries, and other growing businesses of the early nineteenth century (Hoehling 1976, 17)
The newest form of ground transportation, railroads, drew Ericsson's attention. The Liverpool and Manchester Railway offered a cash award for the best steam locomotive design in 1829. Although
Ericsson's steam locomotive, the Novelty, reached speeds in excess of sixty miles per hour, an amazing feat for the time, Ericsson's locomotive was beaten in the competition by a slower but sturdier
engine (Peterkin 1981a, 12). The Novelty's high speed was a little frightening, and the public was still apprehensive about the new form of mechanical transportation that the railroads presented.
Ericsson was ahead of his time with this invention, similar to his later work on the Monitor.
A few years later, Ericsson associated with two American entrepreneurs: Francis B. Ogden and a wealthy navy officer, Capt. Robert F. Stockton (Hoehling 1976, 18; Peterkin, 1981a, 12). Both men saw a
future for marine steam propulsion. The steam propulsion of ships consisted of side wheel and stern paddle wheel systems. To Ericsson's military mind, and with his awareness of the increasing
effectiveness of naval armaments and solid shots and explosive shells, the vulnerability of the side and stern wheeler steamers was clear. He realized that placing the propulsion system beneath the
waterline would offer a great deal of protection from shot and shell, a concept he used later in his design of the Monitor.
Ericsson patented his rotary, or screw, propeller design in 1833. It provided ship's thrust below the water. He then built a twin-propeller steam tug for Ogden, named it the Francis B. Ogden, and
used it to try and convince England's Royal Navy of the value of screw propellers (Peterkin 1981a, 12). Although he failed to win the approval of the Admiralty, he earned support from Stockton.
Coming from a wealthy New Jersey family, Stockton was heavily involved in the development of canal and river transportation along the Delaware River and in the construction of New Jersey's railroads
(Mindell 2000, 36). Stockton visualized the future use of propeller-driven steamers on rivers and, being a naval officer, appreciated the military applications of the screw propeller.
In 1838 Ericsson built for Stockton a small seventy foot, iron-hulled, twin-propeller ship called the Robert F. Stockton (Mindell 2000, 36; Hoehling 1976, 18). Within a year, the Stockton sailed from
England to the United States. Transatlantic steamships were rare, so the publicity about the Stockton's trip created an American awareness of Ericsson's prowess as a naval engineer. Business contacts
and associations formed through Stockton drew Ericsson to the United States in 1839. Stockton's initial attempt to convince the U.S. Navy to build a large propeller-driven frigate of Ericsson's
design was unsuccessful (Peterkin 1981a, 12). In 1840-41, Ericsson found employment at the Phoenix Iron Works in New York City, where years later the Monitor would be built.
Stockton finally succeeded in his proposals to the navy to build a large propeller-driven frigate. In 1841, through Stockton's sponsorship, the navy contracted Ericsson to build a steam warship
called the Princeton (Mindell 2000, 36). This was Ericsson's major contribution to naval construction from 1841 to 1844. In a practice to be followed later in the rapid construction of the Monitor,
Ericsson supervised the subcontractors' manufacturing of the parts for the Princeton. The hull was constructed in Philadelphia while the engine was built in New York City (Hoehling 1976, 20). Many
aspects of the iron-hulled Princeton were later repeated in the Monitor, including a multiple-bladed screw propeller, a direct-drive engine, and engine room blowers. Many of Ericsson's innovations
were submarine to protect these essential propulsion systems from shot and shell (Hoehling 1976, 20; Peterkin 1981a, 13).
The Princeton's armament included two 12-inch cannons, which were the largest guns placed in naval vessels at that time (Hoehling 1976, 20). One of the 12-inch guns was designed by Ericsson and built
in England. He called it the "Oregon," because of the early 1840s territorial question between the United States and England about ownership of the Oregon area (Mindell 2000, 36). Ericsson favored
the United States in that dispute. A heavy cannon of wrought iron, the Oregon featured a breech reinforced with belts of iron rings that strengthened the gun against the lateral pressures on ignition
(Hoehling 1976, 20). Shot from the cannon could penetrate four inches of iron plate or fifty-seven inches of oak (Peterkin 1981a, 13). A contractor, following Stockton's specifications, built the
Princeton's second 12-inch gun. Called the "Peacemaker," it did not have iron rings reinforcing the breech (Hoehling 1976, 20).
Ericsson and Stockton successfully demonstrated the screw propulsion system in the Princeton. In 1843, the Princeton's maneuverability and speed were greater than the existing paddle wheelers
(Peterkin 1981a, 13). Unfortunately, the Peacemaker damned the Princeton project when a demonstration of the Princeton's capabilities to President John Tyler and his cabinet members led to disaster
in 1844. The Peacemaker exploded, killing Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur and Secretary of the Navy Thomas W. Gilmer. President Tyler was providentially spared because he was below decks (Mindell
2000, 37).
Stockton was not held accountable for the accident, possibly because he was a naval officer and President Tyler's friend (Peterkin 1981a, 13). Ericsson felt the navy unfairly blamed him for the
Peacemaker's failure. He was never paid the more than ten thousand dollars that the navy owed him for his work (Hoehling 1976, 21), and he received no more government contracts. Although Ericsson was
naturally embittered toward the U.S. Navy and the U.S. government in general, he obviously was impressed enough with other aspects of the country to become a U.S. citizen in 1848 (Peterkin 1981a, 13).
In the 185Os Ericsson again worked productively with the Phoenix Iron Works in New York City. He built the Ericsson, a 260 foot ship, to demonstrate the marine use of his caloric engine in 1854
(Mindell 2000, 37). Unfortunately, it sank within the year in a storm off the New Jersey coast (Hoehling 1976, 21). During this time frame Ericsson communicated with potential investors about his
idea of a "sub-aquatic" ship with a movable battery system, which had many features later used on the Monitor (Peterkin 1981a, 14). Ericsson submitted his concept to Emperor Napoleon III during
France's war with Russia in 1854. Napoleon never responded to Ericsson about the sub-aquatic war vessel (Mindell 2000, 38). Later, no documentation was found to substantiate Ericsson's claim, so
arguments arose during and after the U.S. Civil War about who actually invented the movable battery turret.
Unknown to Ericsson, another inventor, Theodore Ruggles Timby, had conceived of a rotating multiple-gun turret or castle for harbor defense in 1841. He filed a written notice, or caveat, to establish
claim on his invention with the U.S. Patent Office. The caveat mentioned a revolving metallic turret for use on land or water, so naval use was included (Farr 1997, 34). Ericsson indicated that he
had thought about his concept of what would eventually become the Monitor as early as 1826, which was prior to Timby's inspiration (Peterkin 1981a, 13). Ericsson's financial partners in building the
Monitor were apparently aware of Timby's patent, because they reached a financial settlement with Timby for the Monitor-class ships they built. The U.S. Navy, however, never officially recognized
Timby's claim and did not award him any financial compensation on later Monitor-class ships built by other companies. Ericsson's ego made him resist any sharing of the credit for inventing the
Monitor, and his publicity after the war prevailed. As late as 19O7, the Federal Court of Claims decided that Timby did not warrant financial compensation or credit for inventing the Monitor (Farr
1997, 36).
Ericsson continued his engineering pursuits in association with Harry Delamater of the Phoenix Iron Works until Civil War hostilities began in April 1861. On 7 August the Navy Department sent out
requests for proposals for the construction of ironclad warships (Peterkin 1981a, 14). The U.S. Navy was poorly disposed, with less than one hundred vessels; less than one quarter of the fleet was
steam powered (Mindell 2000, 26). No navy warships were ironclad. Moreover, the knowledge that the Confederates in Norfolk were constructing an ironclad warship from the hull of the sunken USS
Merrimack gave much urgency to the call for Union ironclads.
Responding to the request for proposals, Ericsson dusted off his drawings and models of the sub-aquatic warship he had submitted to Napoleon III. On 29 August 1861 he sent a letter to President
Abraham Lincoln outlining his proposal to construct a ship that later became the Monitor. "Please look carefully at the enclosed plans and you will see that the means I propose to employ are simple
... and so efficient too.... I have planned upward of 100 marine engines and ... mechanical and naval structures of various kinds.... I have received a military education and feel at home with the
science of artillery.... These statements ... prove that you may safely entrust me with the work I propose" (Hoehling 1976, 42-43).
Ericsson was still wary of the U.S. Navy's criticism of him after the Princeton disaster, and he was defensive about what he considered unjust condemnation. He also realized that the navy would be
extra-critical of any ironclad proposals that he might submit. Consequently, he stressed his background and capabilities in his letter to President Lincoln, hoping to avoid any early negative
reaction from the navy. Unfortunately, Ericsson's plea to President Lincoln never made it through the bureaucratic channels for the president's consideration (Hoehling 1976, 44).
According to Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles, a board of navy officers was appointed on 8 August 1861 to receive and evaluate ironclad warship plans that had to be submitted in the next
twenty-five days. Called the Ironclad Board, its members were Commo. Joseph Smith, chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks; Commo. Hiram Paulding; and Capt. Charles H. Davis (Welles 1996, 18).
Appointed chairman of the Ironclad Board, Smith was mechanically minded and experienced. Moreover, he was a close friend of Secretary Welles and had his complete confidence. Seventeen proposals for
ironclad warships were received by the board, including Ericsson's Monitor design.
Consideration of Ericsson's proposal, however, was fortuitously and indirectly brought before the Ironclad Board after 3 September 1861, which was the twenty-five day deadline for submission. This
turned out to be a stroke of good fortune for Ericsson. Cornelius S. Bushnell had been given the go-ahead by the Ironclad Board to construct an ironclad warship, the Galena. By chance, Bushnell
visited Ericsson around September 9 to have him evaluate the Galena's stability. During the visit Ericsson showed Bushnell a model of his version of the sub-aquatic battery (Peterkin 1981a, 15).
Ericsson impressed Bushnell with his description of his model warship and its "simple" efficiency, and stressed his ability to build the Monitor relatively rapidly (Hoehling 1976, 45).
Bushnell was so impressed with Ericsson's ideas that he took the Monitor model directly to Secretary Welles, who was in Hartford, Connecticut, preparing for his move to Washington, D.C. (Welles 1996,
18). Welles was so excited by the Monitor proposal that he acted immediately, in spite of the deadline of 3 September being past. Welles wrote, "I directed Mr. Bushnell to proceed immediately to
Washington, and submit the model to the Board for examination and report. But, deeming the subject of great importance, and fearing the Board would be restrained by the limit of twenty-five days, I
immediately followed, and arrived in Washington almost as soon as Mr. Bushnell with the model" (Welles 1996, 19).
After arriving in Washington, Bushnell contacted his two partners, John F.

Abstract: Letters from Calvin G. Hutchinson to his wife Roxanna (1862-1864); letters to William W. Hill, assistant editor of the Boston Morning Journal, many of them intended
for publication; a prize list (Jan. 1865) of the capture of the Stag, a Confederate steamer, official correspondence relating to Hutchinson's duties of the paymaster, his memoirs (1911-1912), and
ephemera. The paper entitled "Cruise of U.S.S. Pequot" was read at meetings of the Loyal Legion in Nov.- Dec. 1911. The memoir was based on Hutchinson's Civil War letters and included excerpts from
the ship's log. The memoir "Service of a Ferry Boat Gun Boat on Joint Army and Navy work" (ca. 1912) comprises a sketch of the family history starting with ancestors who arrived on the Mayflower and
reminiscences of his life before the war. The main portion of the manuscript, largely based on his diary kept in Oct. 1862 - July 1863, deals the Hutchinson's service onboard of the Commodore Morris.
The Civil War letters and memoirs describe operations along Atlantic coast, ironclads, including the Monitor, Confederate prisoners, runaway plantation slaves who were seeking refuge on the boat,
encounters with Confederates and Union sympathizers in Virginia, operations against blockade runners and prizes, including a British iron steamer the Don (Mar 4, 1864). Bound volume of "Official
Letters Relating to Naval Business from Aug. 16 1862 to Mar. 2, 1864 received by C.G. Hutchinson" contains letters, circulars, rolls, prize lists, and communications received from Treasury
Department, Navy Department, U.S. Navy Yard, U.S. Naval Station in Norfolk, Va., and various ships. Some letters were signed by Gideon Wells. The collection also contains printed maps of Fortress
Monroe (C. Bohn, Washington, D.C) and of the Seat of War in Virginia (Lith. By E. Sachse & Co., Baltimore) both with Hutchinson's remarks outlining the positions of Union and Confederate troops, and
a manuscript map picturing the blockade operations near Cape Fear.

famous for his travels in India and Afghanistan. George C. Harlan graduated at the University of Pennsylvania in 1858, and was then resident physician of Wills Eye Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital,
and Pennsylvania Hospital. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he joined the state Home Guard, but soon resigned his position to accept a Navy appointment of an acting assistant surgeon in June 1861.
For three months he served with the Atlantic Blockading Squadron off the shores of the Carolinas, onboard of the screw steamer Union. In August of 1861, he resigned his commissioned to join "Harlan's
Light Cavalry," an independent regiment raised by his uncle Josiah Harlan. The regiment was designated 11th Regiment of Pennsylvania Cavalry on Nov. 13, 1861.As the regimental surgeon, Dr. Harlan
fought in Virginia and North Carolina, taking part in the Peninsular and Petersburg campaigns. On June 29, 1864 he allowed himself to be captured near Ream's Station when he voluntarily remained on
the battlefield to tend to the wounded. As a prisoner, Dr. Harlan was dispatched, with his wounded, to a prison hospital in Petersburg; he was exchanged on Sept. 26, 1864. Shortly afterwards he was
honorably discharged by the reason of the expiration of the term. After the war, he was professor of ophthalmology in the Philadelphia Polyclinic and author of numerous works of the subject.

Note(s): Bio/History: Harold "Doc" Eugene Edgerton, 1903-1990, B.S. 1926, University of Nebraska; S.M. 1927 and Sc.D. 1931 in electrical engineering,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was professor of electrical engineering at MIT, 1928-1966; Institute Professor, 1966-1968; and Institute Professor emeritus, 1968-1990. Edgerton perfected the
stroboscope and developed photographic techniques that allowed very rapid events to be observed and captured on film. He also developed techniques for underwater exploration, using sonar devices and
flash photography, and participated in many oceanographic and archaeological expeditions. During World War II he designed a strobe lamp for nighttime aerial reconnaissance photography for the U.S.
Army Air Force and directed its use in Italy, England, and France. In 1947, with Kenneth J. Germeshausen and Herbert E. Grier, former students, he formed Edgerton, Germeshausen and Grier, Inc. (now
EG&G, Inc.), a company specializing in electronic technology. In 1953 he began a long association with French underwater explorer Jacques Yves Cousteau, accompanying him on numerous expeditions and
designing various devices for underwater photography and exploration. The National Geographic magazine published a number of articles by Edgerton, and used his high-speed photographs to illustrate
many articles./ Edgerton's photographs are exhibited in museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
