ironclad Merrimac in Hampton Hoads on March 9,
1863, was on July 27, 1910, given to the Navy
Department to be preserved among its historic records,
according to a Washington dispatch. The restoration of the
log to the department was due to Capt. Louis Stodder,
of the United States revenue cutter service, now living
in Brooklyn, Is. Y., and an officer on the Monitor during
her entire service. For years he has treasured the log
among his most valuable possessions, but as old age
has crept over him he desired to see it placed where its
preservation might be assured. Hence it was that he
forwarded it to the library of the Navy Department.
The entries cover dates from February 36 to
September 11, 1862, and tell of the little “cheese box on a
raft” foundering oil Cape Hatteras December 31, 1863,
when Stodder was acting master; of her engagements
with the confederate batteries at Sewell’s Point,
Hampton Roads and at Fort Darling in the James river. But
by far the most interesting concern the light with the
Merrimac.
