Thomas C. Skinner, "Battle between Virginia and Monitor," ca. 1935-1950. The Mariner's Museum and Park.
"No ship in the world’s history has a more imperishable place in naval annals than the Monitor. Not only by her providential arrival at the right moment did she secure the safety of Hampton Roads and all that depended on it, but the ideas which she embodied revolutionized the system of naval warfare which had existed from the earliest recorded history."
Samuel Dana Greene, lieutenant on the Monitor.
