No pictures of the entire U.S.S. Monitor exist.
Only two double turreted Monitors served in the war, one being the U.S.S. Onondaga.
More images of the Monitors were taken during the war than any other vessel.
The monitor, U.S.S. Saugus was used as a temporary prison for the Lincoln conspirators. One of it's duties was working as a Minesweeper on the James River.
