The 150th anniversary of the ship's loss prompted several events in commemoration. A memorial to ''Monitor'' and her lost crew members was erected in the Civil War section of [[Hampton National Cemetery]] by NOAA's [[Office of National Marine Sanctuaries]], together with the U.S. Navy and the [[U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs]], and dedicated on 29 December 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://monitor.noaa.gov/150th/news_monument.html|title=USS Monitor Monument Dedication|last=Ricles|first=Shannon|website=USS Monitor: Preserving a Legacy|publisher=Monitor National Marine Sanctuary|access-date=4 July 2013}}</ref> The [[Greenpoint Monitor Museum]] commemorated the ship and her crew with an event on 12 January 2013 at the grave sites of those ''Monitor'' crew members buried in [[Green-Wood Cemetery]] in Brooklyn, followed by a service in the cemetery's chapel.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://greenpointmonitormuseum.org/events/eventanouncementindex.htm |title=The Greenpoint Monitor Museum|publisher=The Greenpoint Monitor Museum|access-date=4 July 2013}}</ref>

Featured on the album's sleeve are the crewmen of ''Monitor'', taken from a tintype portrait. The album's interwoven references to the Civil War include speeches and writings from the period, as well as the side-long closing track "The Battle of Hampton Roads". The latter refers to the ''Monitor''{{'}}s encounter with CSS ''Virginia'' in prominent detail. Singer/guitarist Patrick Stickles commented while making the album that he was inspired by [[Ken Burns]]'s ''[[The Civil War (TV series)|The Civil War]]'' and the ship itself so much that he decided to name Titus Andronicus's second album in its honor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jMWgputRLo| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131026225028/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jMWgputRLo&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PL933F6FD8C6FBAF34| archive-date=2013-10-26 | url-status=dead|title=Titus Andronicus- The Making of the Monitor Pt 1|date=12 July 2010|via=YouTube}}</ref>
