(3) K-3 A brief history of the Civil War's first ironclad warships is presented in picture book format. The simple text and dramatic images (some with cutaway detail) show the construction of and ultimate confrontation between the Union's Monitor and the Confederate states' Virginia, a.k.a. the Merrimack. Although neither ship won the battle, the event served as a harbinger of new naval technology.
