SUMMARY:USS Monitor Legacy Program: USS Michigan, The US Navy’s First Iron Ship
DESCRIPTION:USS Michigan: The US Navy’s First Iron Ship Presented by John V. Quarstein, director emeritus of the USS Monitor Center The Industrial Revolution enabled the construction of iron-hulled warships that were stronger, larger, and easier to maintain. Laid down in 1839, USS Michigan was the U.S. Navy’s first iron-hulled vessel, built to protect Lake Erie from piracy and foreign threats. Its innovative design laid the foundation for later iron warships, including USS Monitor.
