In Powder Boy of the Monitor, Dick Morgan is responsible for ensuring the USS Monitor's armaments are supplied with dry powder and cartridges to sustain-and win-every battle they undertake. His adventures aboard the country's first 'ironclad' warship are the stuff of legend. When the Monitor encounters the second 'ironclad, ' the Merrimack, naval warfare is changed forever as the age of wooden vessels is forgotten in favor of more durable iron vessels.
