Iron Coffin: War, Technology, and Experience aboard the USS Monitor (Johns Hopkins Introductory Studies in the History of Technology)
Explores the USS Monitor's history beyond the conventional narrative of its revolutionary design and battle success. It focuses on the human experience of technology in warfare, particularly the living conditions and psychological impact on the crew of the ironclad. The book also examines the interplay of political, social, and technical factors influencing the Monitor's development and public perception, drawing on firsthand accounts like Paymaster William F. Keeler's letters and the perspectives of literary figures such as Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville. Additionally, it touches upon the legacy and ongoing study of the Monitor, including archaeological explorations of its wreck.
