Great history lesson. The age of sail, wooden walls and all that, hybrid ships with sails and steam. A new era of rifled guns and iron ships. All that money and innovation and sweat to build and fight American versus American. Fascinating stuff. Thank you. HMS Warrior is moored just a few miles from here in Portsmouth. Come and walk her beautiful decks.
My fourth great-grandfather, Edward Galligan, was a forward gun captain on the USS Essex. His diary is in the Montana state archives and is a very interesting read.
Excellent presentation. I have visited your museum several years ago and it is very well done. I also liked the National Civil War Naval Museum in Columbus GA. Please keep up good work.
10:14 Perhaps the reason why the Enoch Train was off the coast of Louisiana was due to the blockade of the southern ports as per the Anaconda Plan. The Union may have had the superior shipbuilding capacity, but it's not like they could have turned it on in an instant, and the Union needed a lot of ships right away at the start of the war for blockade duty. So the US Navy would have requisitioned as many ships as they could lay their hands on. This would also have the benefit of allowing them to free up their top-tier assets for other patrols. Thus an ice-breaking tug being present off the coast of Louisiana.

An excellent and informative show. May I ask a question for which in my 83 years of interest in predreadnought warships I have never had a satisfactory answer! In all the pictures of armoured sidewheelers they have enormously high paddleboxes usualy twice as high as the wheels diameter. Why is this?. My rhoughts were that it was so that the wheels could be lifted for repairs or maintainance. What is the real reason. Thanks for a well organised site.
JVQ has this to say on the subject: "The large iron paddle boxes for sidewheelers were necessary to produce more power to propel an ironclad, like USS CHOCTAW, against the current. All of the iron cladding required a greater speed which required larger paddlewheels. The paddlebox armor struts to support the greater weight had to be larger, thus making the boxes larger." Hope that answers your question.
such a Wonderful history lesson! what an investment in time ,money & inventiveness such an aweful waste. How would it be if we could marshall such energy to other things. as wars do the USA went through a terrible time after the civil war. When will we ever learn? Thank you
Hi, thanks to youtube algorithm I just found your page and I´m amazed. You have really great content! Thank you for it! And keep going, hopefully people notice you and you get following you deserve :) .
Why was there not very much information on the CSS Albemarle, which had the most successville end results for number of union warships put out of commnissin both temporally and permanently of any ironclad on either side. I would think the Navy, eventhough built by the CSA, would really put forth the information, as being ahead of its time. Also the CSS Huntley as well with some ot the advances it had.
Those were the two ships of the Re d'Italia class, if you haven't found out already or anyone else is interested. Both were launched in 1863 and their design was based on the earlier french Gloire.
Excellent presentation! May I suggest staying away from degrading comments. They are humorous to an extent, but also detracting from this little covered and poignant material. Endeavors that fail in new areas of technology and human foibles are inevitable. Humor at others expense from today's perspective are low hanging fruit. Years from now, we will probably be depicted as a base and unenlightened people, wearing animal skins and togas if anything at all. The futures schadenfreude for the past shows that man has not changed.

Delightful history lesson. Well documented and professionally presented.
Ironclads Tinclads and Dodads too !
Great glad to find. ARGH !
Nicely Done

Wow! What a fascinating family connection, thanks for sharing.

Wow, did not know the Warrior was before the Merrimac.
Very good history

Great video, fills such a gap in history for me.
Thanks for watching! We’re glad you enjoyed it and that it was valuable to you! Be sure to subscribe to learn even more.
Very Good Presentation! I had no idea of the ironclads before or after the Hampton Roads battle.
I used to see HMS Warrior when it was still in Pembroke Dock it was a sad sight then it was just a hull used as a coal barge with no superstructure.
Nice video... Thank you!
Brilliant video! Made my day! I’ll get to that museum someday, somehow!
We'd love to see you in our galleries. Admission is only $1.
I would love to support you more. Do you give backstage tours or off hour tours for patrons ? @@TheMarinersMuseum

You should show the screw at the Museum entrance - if still there.
The monitor didn't fight the Merrimack well only in the sense that the Merrimack had a new name and was called the Virginia
Amazing, navy Brazil 🇧🇷 have a monitor ship.

In the active navy of Brazil 🇧🇷.
If you have any more information or photos, please share them.
Nicely done...very informative.

Thanks for an interesting question. We will pass this along to John Quarstein to see if he can answer it for you!

Mr Wood I think you did a good job.
What about the CSS Arkansas.
Can't find the 2 Italian ironclads built in the US.
Those were the two ships of the Re d'Italia class, if you haven't found out already or anyone else is interested. Both were launched in 1863 and their design was based on the earlier french Gloire.
@@AssortedMistakes Thanks for the information. I did not know.
