Presenter

John V. Quarstei

Director emeritus of the USS Monitor Cente

About the lecture

USS Monitor did not play a significant role during the Battle of Drewry's Bluff.

Once considered the 'little ship that saved the nation', it was unable to effectively shell the Confederate fort. Consequently, after the fight, Monitor's commander, Lt. William Jeffers wrote a critical report detailing many of the ship's weaknesses.

This prompted a furious reply from John Ericsson detailing how the monitor design was key to the Union victory. Even though much of what Jeffers referenced was true, Ericsson had tremendous political support, enabling him to continue building monitors through to the war's end

Advance registration is required whether you attend the lecture in person or online.

Free for Museum Members, $1 for guests.

Save the Date for WMA 202

As we celebrate our 90th anniversary, join us to build relationships and soar higher than ever before. With the theme of ELEVATE, WMA 2025 will explore ways to lift up the experiences of cultural professionals and the communities they serve.

In Reno, Nevada, 4,400 feet above sea level, we will forward the progress of museums by looking to the future.

The 2025 AASLH Annual Conference, in partnership with Ohio Local History Alliance, will take place as the history field makes the final preparations to kickoff off the 250th commemoration of the founding of the United States.

The 2025 conference theme, inspired by AASLH’s Making History at 250: The Field Guide for Semiquincentennial, is an opportunity to broadly explore one of the guide’s themes, The American Experiment. For many in the American colonies in 1776, independence from Britain represented a “leap into the dark” into an unknown future

We are excited for you to join us in Cincinnati as we encourage discussion about our democracy and civic institutions and how they can help strengthen understanding, inspire action, and reveal ways that all of us can participate in and shape the ongoing American experiment.

For more information, please call 615-320-3203 or email info@aaslh.org.
