File:The photographic history of the Civil War - in ten volumes (1911) (14762926875).jpg

English: FARRAGUT AND GRANGER AFTER THE BATTLE OF MOBILE BAY. This splendid picture shows the calm and finely-molded features of the great admiral just after the accomplishment of a feat which save in bravery over-topped his great achievement of the passage of the forts below New Orleans. There Farragut had done what was pronounced impossible, but at Mobile he had fought his way through dangers ten times more formidable. Here, with the modesty which ever characterized him, he sits within the captured Fort Giaines on Dauphin Island, discussing with General Gordon Granger plans for the combined attack by which Fort Morgan was taken on August 22, 1864. It was to Granger that Mobile finally surrendered.

But if deeds of bravery are to be mentioned in telling ofMobile Bay, much credit must be given to the small Confed-erate gunboats, Morgan, Gaines, and Selma, that kept up araking fire which caused great havoc among the advancing ves-sels. To the great ram Tennessee and the magnificent fightthat she fought, honor is due also. Her engines were hastilyconstructed, and of insufficient strength. She charged throughthe whole line; the Hartford dodged her, although it had beenthe desire of brave old Admiral Buchanans heart to sink theflagship.
