The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has teamed up with the Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration and the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology to allow viewers to explore notable shipwrecks off the North Carolina coast. The ships date from the Civil War to World War II and "represent our nation’s naval innovation," according to NOAA.
President Abraham Lincoln commissioned the ship after he discovered the Confederate Navy was constructing its own ironclad warship in Hampton Roads, Virginia, according to NOAA. Swedish American inventor John Ericsson constructed the plan for the vessel, which included a rotating gun turret, low draft, sleek profile and what Ericsson described as an "impregnable battery."The ship, constructed in Brooklyn, New York, launched onto the East River on Jan. 30, 1862.
