Civil War Naval Subjects |
| Admiral Farragut, 1862 |
| Order Code : C-219 Captain David Glasgow Farragut of the U.S. Navy was given command as flag officer of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron with the mission of sailing up the Mississippi to capture the port city of New Orleans, Louisiana, to stop the supplies of foreign goods to the Confederate Armies. This task was achieved on 29 April 1982. His squadron then sailed north as far as Vicksburg, Miss., but could not subdue this city because he had no Union army forces to attack and occupy the city. Farragut was the first officer in the U.S. Navy to attain the rank of full Admiral. |
