First Clash of the Ironclads.
Angus Konstam. On March 9, 1862 the world's first battle between two ironclad warships took place in the confined waters of Hampton Roads, Virginia. The four-hour duel was a stalemate, but crucially the Virginia had failed to break the Northern blockade of the Southern ports. It was a single battle that rendered wooden warships obsolete and transformed the face of naval warfare forever. 96 pgs., 80 B&W and 12 color illustrations, 7¼"x 9¾", sfbd. #0C11109 Price: $19.95
