On December 31, 1862, 16 men perished that stormy New Year’s Eve when the USS Monitor sank off Cape Hatteras, N.C.


The United States Navy’s first ironclad warship rose to glory during the Battle of Hampton Roads on March 9, 1862, but there’s much more to know about the USS Monitor. Historian John Quarstein has painstakingly compiled bits of historical data gathered through years of research to present the first comprehensive picture of the lives of the officers and crew who served faithfully in an iron ship unlike any vessel previously known.
""The Monitor Boys,"" a moniker the men gave themselves, is a reflection of how these hundred-odd souls were bound together through storms, battles, boredom and disaster. Just living aboard the ironclad took uncommon effort and fortitude. Their perseverance through the heat, stress and unseaworthiness that defined life on the ship makes the study of those who dared it a worthy endeavor. Many recognized that they were part of history. Moreover, the Monitor Boys were agents in the change of naval warfare.
Following Quarstein’s compelling narrative is a detailed chronology as well as appendices including crew member biographies, casualties and statistics and dimensions of the ship. Readers can dive into the world of the Monitor and meet William Flye, George Geer and the rest of the men who risked everything by going to sea in the celebrated ""cheesebox on a raft"" and became the hope of a nation wracked by war.
