twintrow Posted June 29, 2014 #1 Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) This is more than just an explanation of the loss of the Merrimack/Virginia, it covers a short Bio on many of the personalities in getting her built, and excellent coverage of how she was built and why.Highly recommended for any one wanting to build any Ironclad. As little as $4.00 used to $37 new. from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Ironclad-Down-Merrimack-CSS-Virginia-Destruction/dp/1591146 Tom Edited June 29, 2014 by twintrow
uss frolick Posted June 30, 2014 #2 Posted June 30, 2014 Curious, does the book give any new insight on the Virginia's fight against the sailing Frigates Cumberland and Congress?
twintrow Posted June 30, 2014 Author #3 Posted June 30, 2014 I haven't yet read the entire book but the index references about 25 pages dedicated to these two including the ramming of the Cumberland. Tom
