A Part of My Civil War Weapons & Warfare Activity Page The turning point of the Civil War Naval War |
|
| One of the inventions of the time of
Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War was the iron ships. Naval engineers
of the 1860's were given the assignment of building ships that could withstand
the cannonballs of artillery. Two of these were the Merrimac and the
Monitor. Both would end up in battle and history was made. Present-day
modern ships are the result of the invention of the iron ship in the 1860's.
