Join Capt. Robert Cronin as he explores the 1862 Battle of Hampton Roads, the first clash between ironclad warships in history. Remembered as the day all the world’s navies became obsolete, Cronin will examine the events leading to the battle, the engagement itself, the sinking of the USS Cumberland and the USS Congress, and Newburyport’s connection to the battle through the eyes of the city's sailors.
