612. Lamb, Martha Joanna Reade (Nash). "John Ericsson, the Builder of the Monitor, 1803-1889." Magazine of American History 25 (January 1891): 1-17. PER E171.M34
613. Lange, Diana M. "Management Update." Cheesebox 2, no. 1 (June 1983): 12-13. PER CC1.C44 A discussion of the "Sanctuary Management Plan" that is to guide NOAA and the North Carolina Division of Archives and History. There is also a list of fourteen studies that have been completed.
614. Lassiter, Tom. "Ocean Cemetery Yields Ironclad Monitor's Secrets," Fayetteville Times [NC], 2 September 1977. Lassiter outlines the Monitor story and describes the excitement generated in John Newton and others with the recovery of the signal lantern. Lassiter goes so far as to say Newton could not "be happier if he found a hoof from the Trojan Horse."
615. "The Last Seen of the Monitor," New York Herald, 6 January 1863. The State of Georgia brought news of the loss of the Monitor to Fort Monroe, and the news was telegraphed to Washington, D.C. This very lengthy article recounts the efforts of the crew of the Rhode Island to save the ironclad, the reaction of the public, the gale, the alleged cause of the sinking ("protective armor is undoubtedly the cause of the leak"), and other related details.
616. "The Late Naval Battle," Charleston Mercury [SC], 14 March 1862. This piece is significant but should be read with caution. It may explain the Congress and Cumberland's lack of fear of the rebel ironclad. According to prisoners taken from the Congress, the officers expected to sink the Virginia to the bottom in half an hour. The article also extends praise to the crew of the Cumberland for the way they manned their guns to the bitter end. It is not without mistakes.
617. "Late Planning Snarls Project To Investigate USS Monitor." Sea Technology 17, no. 10 (October 1976): 31-32. PER GC1 V 34 John Newton and the Monitor Research and Recovery Foundation, Inc., fail to meet the filing requirements in time to explore the wreck, but NOAA officials make allowances for the expedition to continue.
618. "Launching a Ship in Flipstad." Bridge 14, no. 2 (1982): 48-50. This is a note about the launching of a 1/4-size model of the Monitor in Sweden.
619. Le Faucheur, L. J. "The Fight Between the Merrimac and Monitor." Belford's Magazine 6 (December 1890): 104-12. An "Accounting by a Confederate spectator" from Norfolk, this also appears in The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, July 1886. It describes the Battle of Hampton Roads and remarks on how the Monitor refused to fight the Virginia again.
620. Lemonick, Michael D. "Probing the Monitor with a Deep Drone." Time 129, no. 25 (22 June 1987): 77. Outlines the activity surrounding the exploration of the wreck by the Deep Drone from the Apache. E. M. Miller is quoted.
621. Levy, Leo O. "Hawthorne, Melville, and the Monitor." American Literature 37, no. 1 (March 1965): 33-40. This article explains how Nathaniel Hawthorne's article in the Atlantic Monthly (July 1862) influenced Herman Melville's poems on the Monitor in Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War (1866). The author makes his point, but the article does have a flaw. Levy claims Hawthorne's article appears anonymously but the "specific phraseology, imagery, and sometimes the dramatic structure" would tell Melville it was Hawthorne's essay. The magazine's table of contents clearly states that Hawthorne is the "Peaceable Man" in question. Consequently, Levy's discussion on the essayist's style is moot.
622. Lewis, Charles L. "The Confederate Ironclad Virginia." Southern Magazine 2 (June 1935): 12-13, 48-49.
623. Lewis, Samuel E. "Ironclad Warships." Confederate Veteran 23, no. 7 (July 1915): 315-16. Lewis, a doctor residing in the nation's capital, gives James Barron credit for an earlier concept of an iron vessel called the "marine catapulta." He relies on Henry A. Wise (former U.S. Congressman, Virginia governor, and Confederate general) as the source. Wise is the father of John S. Wise, who admitted he sank Barron's model in a pond.

627. "A Little History." Hatteras Monitor 1, no. 11 (27 October 1986). PER F262.096H38 This is a reprint of the article in Harper's Weekly (February 16, 1863).
