The USS Monitor was made in amazing 100 days. At first John Ericsson inventor of the USS Monitor, did not want to build a ship for the USA. But was later forced by officials to create a ship. When John Ericsson presented his planes for armored ship people were ecstatic, nobody ever before had thought of it. The finished date of the USS Monitor was March 6th 1862. The picture is of a monument of John Ericsson in Battery park, NYC. (John Ericsson July 31st 1803, March 8th 1889.)
