About the Lecture
At the end of the Battle of Hampton Roads, USS Monitor’s commander, John Worden, was grievously wounded by a shell fired by Lieutenant John Taylor Wood. Worden endured a painful recovery. Eventually, by November 1862, he was able to return to service as captain of the USS Montauk.
