See USS Monitor Memorial. Gravesite, Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia
In Section 46 of Arlington National Cemetery, there stands a simple monument engraved with sixteen names. Beneath this unassuming stone marker lie two unknown sailors from the Civil War ironclad ship, Monitor—which sank in a gale off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina on New Year’s Eve, 1862. The two unknown sailors’ journey from the Monitor wreck site to Arlington spanned a century and a half, and they traveled halfway around the globe before finally being laid to rest here. Their story is as remarkable as the story of the ship in which they served.
