Join us at The Mariners' for our popular series, USS Monitor Legacy Program, that highlights the history and lasting impact of USS Monitor through a variety of public events in partnership with the NOAA Monitor National Marine Sanctuary.

John V. Quarstein, director emeritus of the USS Monitor Center, will present the multifaceted history of USS Monitor, and the program will be in person and livestreamed from the Explorers Theater at the Museum.

Attendees are welcome to send comments or questions to John, and he will answer them following his talk. Advance registration is required whether you attend this event in person or online.

About the presentation: At the end of the Battle of Hampton Roads, USS Monitor’s commander, John Worden, was grievously wounded by a shell fired by Lieutenant John Taylor Wood. Worden endured a painful recovery. Eventually, by November 1862, he was able to return to service as captain of the USS Montauk.
