Ship designer, John Ericsson, posing by the hull of the Monitor Dictator, at the Delameter Iron Works, New York City, 1862-63. Ericsson moved from Sweden to England at age 23, where he built railroad engines, ship propellers, and heat engines. His 1854 design of an armored battle ship with a dome-shaped gun tower, anticipated the USS Monitor of US Civil War fame. Photo by George Stacy
