The Iron Coffin

On 9 March, 1862, the course of the American Civil War was transformed with ironclads - 'The Monitor' and 'The Merrimack'. But with no daylight and reliance on their ships to breathe, what was it really like to live inside these great metal monsters?


Text copied from the BBC website.

Radio Times mentioned that there is an attempt to identify individuals from the human remains recovered from the turret of the Monitor.
