Photographic Incidents of the War. No. 490. Crew of the Original “Monitor” on her deck. [Gardner Co. stereo card]
Photographic War History. The War for the Union. 1861-1865. No. 490. Crew of the original “Monitor” on her deck. This view shows the crew of the original “Monitor” on the deck of that world famous little “Cheese box on a raft,” as the Rebel contemptuously caller her, until she showed them how easy she could lick their famous “Merrimac.” The honest jack tars here seen can always congratulate themselves that they took part in the famous fight which revolutionized the navies of the world.
