Product Description
Join the battle to save a legendary Civil War battleship.

March 1862. Cannons blare, troops cheer, and shells bounce off ironclad hulls into the waters just off the coast of Norfolk, Virginia. After four hours at near point-blank range, The Union’s warship the USS Monitor battles the Confederacy’s well-armored CSS Virginia to a draw, altering—in one morning—the course of the Civil War and naval combat.

With its revolutionary revolving gun turret, submerged hull and impenetrable armor, the Monitor, and the ironclads manufactured in its wake, was a decisive factor in the Civil War. But, after serving less than 12 months on active duty, the Monitor sank in 230 feet of water off North Carolina’s Cape Hatteras.

Today, the Monitor rests in the nation's first marine sanctuary, along with several thousand wrecks in waters dubbed The Graveyard of the Atlantic. Join an elite team of Navy divers as they attempt to recover priceless artifacts of American and naval history. Meet the controversial ship designer who built the Monitor in just over 90 days. See a realistic re-enactment of the battle that changed the course of the Civil War. And discover a powerful military past as secrets of the Monitor’s short-but-significant service emerge from the deep.
