The death of Corn elius S. Bushnell,
of New Haven, Conn, recalls to the
Chicago Times Herald one Of the most
celebrated of naval battles, which sled
to modern warship construction and
revolutionized naval warfare. Mr..
Bushnell was the man who supplied
the money to build the famous Mont
tor, planned by John Ericsson. The
arrival of that remarkable vessel in
Hampton Roads at the moment that
the Confederate ram Merrimac was
playing havoc with the Federal wood
en- warships stationed there is one Of
the most dramatic scenes in oil his.
tory, and the duel between the two
vessels that followed, though drawn
battle in appearance, marked an epoch
of the war. From that time it became
impossible for the Confederate Gov
eminent to organize navy. Had not
the Monitor appeared at the very time
it did, 60 as to bar the way of the
Confederate war vessel, the Merrimac,
after destroying the United States
warahips, the Cumberland and Con-
gress, might have proceeded down the
coast and raised the blockade. Had
that been done in 1852 no power on
earth could have prevented the estab-
lishment of the Southern Confederacy.
1t was that blockade more than any
other one thing that isolated the Sc
ceding States from Europe and shut
of their supplies At that time arm
ored vessels we're as yet dream, and
what they would be in the actual col
lision of war an entirely unknown
quantity. Every naval Power in thu
world, therefore, was interested II
that fight, and it marks the beginning
of the modern naval era. In truth i
may be said that the brave little Nom
tor, that afterward sank in storm.
sea like so much pot metal, was tn
beginning Of the splendid navies o
to-day. To this Mr.. Bushnell con
tributed, and his memory is deserving
Of honor.
