Battle of the Ironclads brings to life the dramatic events which occurred in Hampton Roads on March 8 and 9, 1862. This first battle between armored vessels, often called the Monitor-Merrimack engagement, is perhaps the most significant naval event of the entire Civil War. This thrilling history is the first volume to offer a comprehensive pictorial interpretation of the men and ships that forever changed naval warfare. Over 150 images, including photographs, engravings, paintings, and sketches, have been gathered from museums, archives, and private collections to chronicle the exciting story of the U.S.S. Monitor and the C.S.S. Virginia (Merrimack). While Battle of the Ironclads is a visual history of the first battle between armored ships, it is also a saga of uncommon valor and leadership epitomized by Franklin Buchanan, George U. Morris, Samuel Dana Greene, and John Taylor Wood. The brilliant innovations of John Mercer Brooke and the farsighted inventions of John Ericsson made this

Flattering fit, great feel, totally worth it
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I had to squeeze my girls in, but I made it work, lol! This was my first time shopping from The Drop and I was so suprised by the quality. It's definitely a heavy dress but I really love how it feels and fits on my body. For context, I ordered a medium, I'm 5'2", 155 lbs, 36DD, and 30in waist. It's tight on my bust but comfortable around my hips and waist, which isn't a big deal. The side zipper kills me though lol so beware, lots of twisting to get that thing shut. BUT still worth it. great dress.

Heavy linen, lined dress
Size: Medium, Color: White
Nice heavy linen. Lined. Has a zipper. Great quality dress. If you like pockets, this dress has them. The skirt is full at the bottom. I would prefer to have less material. The pockets are right at the hip, this is not helpful for those with hips as it adds weight and I am tall and have a nice hourglass shape, but am not looking to have bigger hips . But beautiful dress.

A beautiful dress
Size: Medium, Color: Red Rose Floral
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I absolutely love this dress. It is the first item of clothing I have purchased from Amazon that I haven't had to send back. The sizing is spot on. This dress is indeed 100% linen. The workmanship is great. It is truly a beautiful dress and it brought me many compliments.
