Civil War, Day by Day

The Confederate ironclad CSS Virginia, built with the salvaged hull and engines of the former USS Merrimack, severely damaged the U.S. fleet at Hampton Roads, Virginia, on March 8, 1862. The next day, the Virginia was engaged by the Federal ironclad USS Monitor in an indecisive contest that ended when the Monitor withdrew. It was the first combat between ironclad warships.
