Monitor was one of the most important ships during the American civil war. After many thoughts and considerations the mission to build the ship went to the Swedish inventor John Eriksson to build a ship that would be unsikable and sink so many of the enemys ship as possible. The ship turned out to be very strange, only the cannonturret was visible above the surface. The turret could be turned around and fire in any direction. Monitor did win the famous sea battle against Virgina (many times referd to as Merimak)
