Excerpt from Monitor Builders: A Historical Study of the Principal Firms and Individuals Involved in the Construction of Uss Monitor This analysis of the firms involved in casting, forging, manufacturing, and assembling John Ericsson's Monitor is the first such study of this important aspect of the oft-researched ironclad. Dr. Still, noted Civil War naval historian and author of several works on Confederate ironclads and Monitor, was an ideal choice to research and write Monitor Builders. The study was done under contract with the National Maritime Initiative of the National Park Service to aid in the preparation of a historical context study to determine the various aspects of Monitor's significance. This work was done under provision of a cooperative agreement with the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (noaa) to provide technical support and expertise to noaa's program of research and management of the shipwrecked remains of uss Monitor. The National Park Service contributed cultural resource management policies, procedures for applying for research permits, an archeological research design, the before-mentioned historical context study, and prepared a successful nomination for Monitor's designation as a National Historic Landmark. The industrial history and archeology of 19th century America is now the subject of considerable interest and attention. Monitor, significant to many aspects of the history and culture of the United States, is clearly shown by Dr. Still to be both a product and a stimulator of the American industrial revolution.
