This one was tricky - This person wasn't listed as being part of the crew, however this was his station - stationed on the USS Monitor - He was an african american and his name was Thomas L. Taylor - died March 7, 1932 at the age of 84 years old. (I found evidence that another person was the oldest, but I found that he died July 16, 1931 which would discredit him as being the last survivor - Charles H. Holt at 83 years old - Taylor outlived him by 8 months)

A black sailor by the name of Thomas Taylor, was the last survivor of the Union ironclad Monitor. He died in 1932 at the ripe old age of 84.
