John Smith first landed his ships at Cape Henry in Virginia Beach, he must have known the military importance of the jut of land; today, it is home to Fort Story, and the location played a key role during World War II in making sure enemy ships and subs did not sail into the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and onto Norfolk, the world's largest naval base. Smith established this country's first military base when he settled in Jamestown, building a fort to protect the early colonists. That simple military presence grew exponentially and during World War II was instrumental in not only defending the homeland, but in winning the war. From the Peninsula to Southside, the Hampton Roads area is military proud. There are more than a dozen forts and bases, many of which sprung up during World War II or were greatly expanded during that time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-infos\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages: \u003c\/strong\u003e128\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/strong\u003eArcadia Publishing Inc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImprint: \u003c\/strong\u003eArcadia Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries: \u003c\/strong\u003eImages of America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/strong\u003e23rd February 2005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eState: \u003c\/strong\u003eVirginia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrations Note: \u003c\/strong\u003eBlack and White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN: \u003c\/strong\u003e9780738517667\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003ePatrick Evans-Hylton is a Johnson \u0026amp; Wales–trained chef, food historian and an award-winning food writer, covering tasty trends since 1995 in print, broadcast and electronic media.

Little did the ironclad's crew realize that their makeshift warship would achieve the greatest Confederate naval victory. The trip was thought by most of the crew to be a trial cruise. Instead, the Virginia's aggressive commander, Franklin Buchanan, transformed the voyage into a test by fire that forever proved the supreme power of iron over wood. The Virginia's ability to beat the odds to become the first ironclad to enter Hampton Roads stands as a testament to her designers, builders, officers and crew. Virtually everything about the Virginia's design was an improvisation or an adaptation, characteristic of the Confederacy's efforts to wage a modern war with limited industrial resources.

This first battle between armored vessels, often called the Monitor-Merrimack engagement, is perhaps the most significant naval event of the entire Civil War. This thrilling history is the first volume to offer a comprehensive pictorial interpretation of the men and ships that forever changed naval warfare. Over 150 images, including photographs, engravings, paintings, and sketches, have been gathered from museums, archives, and private collections to chronicle the exciting story of the U.S.S. Monitor and the C.S.S. Virginia (Merrimack). While Battle of the Ironclads is a visual history of the first battle between armored ships, it is also a saga of uncommon valor and leadership epitomized by Franklin Buchanan, George U. Morris, Samuel Dana Greene, and John Taylor Wood. The brilliant innovations of John Mercer Brooke and the farsighted inventions of John Ericsson made this showdown in Hampton Roads a death for wooden sailing ships. Battle of the Ironclads is indeed an epic tale that tells how steam-powered iron vessels not only influenced the Civil War, but more importantly, how the two ironclads echoed the dawn of modern navies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-infos\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages: \u003c\/strong\u003e128\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/strong\u003eArcadia Publishing Inc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImprint: \u003c\/strong\u003eArcadia Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries: \u003c\/strong\u003eCivil War Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/strong\u003e1st August 1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eState: \u003c\/strong\u003eVirginia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrations Note: \u003c\/strong\u003eBlack and White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN: \u003c\/strong\u003e9780738501130\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eJohn V.

On the first morning, the Confederate ironclad the CSS Virginia, formerly known as the Merrimack, sank two Union wooden warships, proving the power of the armored vessels over the traditional sailing ships. The next morning, the Virginia engaged the Union ironclad USS Monitor to a draw in a battle that significantly altered naval warfare. It was the first engagement between ironclads and ushered in a new era of warship construction and ordnance. The 25, 000 sailors, soldiers and civilians who witnessed the battle knew then what history would soon confirm: wars waged on the waters would never be the same. The seemingly invincible Monitor and Virginia were experimental ships, revolutionary combinations of new and old technology, and their clash on March 9, 1862, was the culmination of over 2, 000 years of naval experience. The construction and combat service of ironclads during the Civil War were the first in a cascade of events that influenced the outcome of the war and prompted the development of improved ironclads as well as the creation of new weapons systems, such as torpedoes and submarines, needed to counter modern armored warships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-infos\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages: \u003c\/strong\u003e288\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/strong\u003eArcadia Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImprint: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe History Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries: \u003c\/strong\u003eCivil War Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/strong\u003e28th February 2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eState: \u003c\/strong\u003eVirginia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"sp__trim-size\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrim Size: \u003c\/strong\u003e6.88 x 9.75 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN: \u003c\/strong\u003e9781596291188\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eJohn V.

Watermen willing to help escaped slaves made eighteenth-century Norfolk a haven for freedom seekers. Famous nineteenth-century escapees like Shadrack Minkins and Henry Box Brown were aided by the Underground Railroad. Enslaved men like Henry Lewey, known as Bluebeard, aided freedom seekers as conductors, and black and white sympathizers acted as station masters.
