Naval engagement on March 9, 1862, at Hampton Roads, VA between the federal frigate "Merrimac" and the Union's "Monitor". After a 4-hour battle, both ships were damaged, but each side claimed victory. The battle is notable as history's first duel between ironclad warships and as the beginning of a new era in naval warfare. Engraved by Samuel Sartain.
