The Other Ironclads

Almost everyone knows about the Monitor and Merrimac (more correctly, USS Monitor and CSS Virginia), but many people know little of the 100 or more other ironclad vessels which served on both sides in the American Civil War. This presentation explores the fascinating and sometimes bizarre story of these largely forgotten ironclads, along with “tinclads,” “timberclads,” and other improvised armored craft. Join Dan Wood as he talks about the lesser known ironclad ships of the Civil War.
