War Art 13: Steel Ships
Loading...
Uploaded by bestjonbon on Nov 12, 2007
Naval warfare changed during the American Civil War when a Confederate ironclad, the Merrimac, sailed down the Elizabeth River in 1862 and began sinking Yankee wooden blockade ships with ease. The Yanks responded the next day with the Monitor, a faster steel pillbox set on a low hull. The two ironclads fought each other for a full day, ending in a draw. But wooden warships had met their Waterloo. Here are 170 of my favorite sea paintings, depicting the rapid improvement of steel ships from the basic Civil War ironclads to the complex steel behemoths of World War II and beyond.

Yeah, the iron clads were a kick. Slow, cumbersome, not enough fire power to fight each other, but they changed naval history forever.
