John V. Quarstein
Director emeritus of the USS Monitor Center
About the Lecture
The Union’s first ironclad USS Monitor had six commanders during its one year of service. Each left their mark on the iconic vessel’s all-too-brief record.
Attendees are welcome to send comments or questions to John, and he will answer them following his talk.
