Join us for an enlightening evening with Maura R. O’Connor, who traveled the world to interview master navigators trying to preserve the use of environmental cues in this age of GPS.

Watch how we collaborated with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Monitor National Marine Sanctuary (MNMS), and the University of West Florida to scan and 3-D model some of Monitor’s recovered artifacts. This helps us put history in the hands of our community!

Join us for an eye-opening experience at The Mariners’ and learn more about the legacy and lasting impact of USS Monitor!

John V. Quarstein gives a presentation on USS Idaho, a steam sloop that was built at Camden, New Jersey, as part of a Civil War program of large, very fast, steam cruisers and was eventually converted to a sailing storeship.

John V. Quarstein will give a presentation about how 19th-century Royal Navy armorclad development set the stage for the creation of 20th-century dreadnoughts.

Watch our team remove USS Monitor's condenser tank to make more room in our Batten Conservation Complex!
