Photographic War History. The War For The Union. 1861-1865. No. 486. The Original “Monitor” after her Fight with the “Merrimac.” This view shows part of the deck and turret of the “Monitor;” near the port-hole can be seen the dents made by the heavy steel-pointed shot from the guns of the “Merrimac.” As the old war time ditty has it: “The Rebel shot flew hot, but our boys they answered not, / Til they got within a distance they called handy; / Then says Worden to his crew, boys, let’s see what we can do, / And up spoke little Yankee Doodle Dandy. The Rebels shook their head, and to one another said, / The bottom of this river is quite sandy, / We had better turn about, and for Norfolk quick set out, / For we have found the very Devil, to this little Yankee Doodle Dandy.” [Taylor & Huntington stereo card]
