The Monitor: The Iron Warship That Changed the World (All Aboard Reading, Station Stop 3) by Thompson, Gare (2003) Paperback
The U.S.S. Monitor was an entirely new type of warship when it launched in 1862. Dubbed "the forefather of the modern Navy," this ironclad ship changed how wars are fought at sea. But on New Year's Eve, 1862, it sank off the coast of North Carolina in a terrible storm. No one thought the Monitor could be raised, but after 140 years, parts of the ironclad have finally been brought to the surface. This book chronicles the Monitor's revolutionary design, exciting battle, and intriguing excavation.Illustrated by Larry Day.

might be a good companion book for kids interested in the titanic and ship wrecks in general. the language is pedantic and makes the conflict seem petty. real photos would have been beneficial.
