    A painting of the battle between USS Monitor and CSS Virginia by W. F. Halsall. The Brooklyn-built Monitor made nautical history after being designed and assembled in 118 days, and then commissioned, Feb. 25, 1862. Fighting in the first battle between two ironclads in the Battle of Hampton Roads, March 9, 1862, the engagement marked the first time iron-armored ships clashed in naval warfare and signaled the end of the era of wooden ships.
