This painting depicts the Sea Battle of Norfolk, during the civil war. It was actually the very first time that two armored warships went to battle ! The (northern) Union ships blockaded the ports of Norfolk and Richmond. The (southern) Confederacy armored ship, the Virginia, was a converted warship (formerly the Merrimack), that had previously been burnt. The Union ironclad was the Monitor. The two ships waged battle for more than three hours, without inflicting any significant damage to the other.
