The Twelve Days of the Monitor--On the 12th day of the Monitor my true love gave to me... 12 Officers a’Standing—Someone in the image of 12 officers doesnt belong. Do you know who? During the hot summer of 1862, photographer James Gibson visited the Monitor to take photos of the ship and crew. It was July 9 and President Lincoln was scheduled for a visit. The President arrived early and Mr. Gibson arrived later and missed taking Lincolns photo on the Monitor. However, Mr. Gibson did take eight photos, which are the only known photos of the USS Monitor. Compare these two images to see who doesnt belong.
