Join us for a lecture with author and historian John V. Quarstein, director emeritus of the USS Monitor Center. Quarstein will give a presentation on the Confederacy's strategy to build ironclads in order to combat the superior Union navy.

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

In this episode of Beyond the Frame, we'll explore the ways in which USS Monitor's story met aspects of the artist's life and led him to create a work depicting the Ironclad in a style that is purely his own.

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

John V. Quarstein concludes the year with a presentation about USS Rhode Island’s involvement in the remaining days of USS Monitor.

2022 marks the 20th anniversary of raising the famous ironclad’s gun turret off the ocean floor, where it sat for 140 years. Just like the innovative weapon, this feat was revolutionary. The divers, archaeologists, engineers - the US Navy, NOAA, and countless others, worked together to accomplish this mission. This video celebrates all of these people who made this happen!

In this episode, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the recovery of USS Monitor's turret - a story told through this work, a tale to be proud of - to pass on, and something to remember.
