Battle of Mobile Bay

1864-08-05

"This Union victory, together with the capture of Atlanta, was extensively covered by Union newspapers and was a significant boost for Abraham Lincoln's bid for re-election three months after the battle. This battle concluded as being the last naval engagement in the state of Alabama in the war. It would also be Admiral Farragut's last known engagement." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mobile_Bay
