Virginia, formerly the U.S.S. Merrimac, through the blockading Union fleet in Chesapeake Bay near Norfolk and Newport News. Articles also told of the appearance on the second day of the smaller and faster "Ericsson Battery," the Monitor. Even though I've heard about the Monitor defeating the Merrimac as far back as I can remember, it is really interesting to see the story develop and read it as it appeared at the time.
