The deck of the ironclad known as the Monitor was only a few inches above water. The only entrance into the vessel that boarders could find was from the top of the turret, and then only one man at a time could descend. The turret was made of eight thicknesses of one-inch iron plate, so overlapped that at no spot was there more than one inch thickness of joint. The two heavy guns, as seen in the engraving, moved on wrought iron slides across the base of the turret, on well-fitting carriages, and their muzzles were run out into the portholes with ease.
