Review:
Based at the Mariners’ Museum and Park, the USS Monitor Center is one of the most famous ships in history. The iron-hulled steam-powered warship was built for the Union Navy during the American Civil War and played a vital role in several decisive battles during the war. Today, visitors can explore the ship on guided tours and partake in several interactive activities such as walk on the deck of a full-scale replica of a Monitor and take part in a battle in the state-of-the-art high-technology battle theater. Self-guided and guided tours of the vessel are available, and the attraction is open year-round.
