Description:USS Monitor was the product of a number of ironworks, foundries, and machinery-manufacturing firms. With the exception of one Baltimore company, all firms were located in New York State, with the majority in New York City. Although a large number were small establishments selected because of the necessity to complete the ship as quickly as possible, a few were large, prosperous, and well-established companies. Their composite history illustrates industrial growth of the United States during the 19th century, especially its initial development. Monitor's "builders" were mechanics, inventors, engineers, and businessmen. Although they were intimately associated with technological change, they were generally self-taught, working largely without the benefit of theoretical background.
