Description

David Glasgow Farragut (1801-1870) entered the US Navy at the age of nine. He served in the War of 1812 and received his first command in 1824. During the American Civil War he became famous for his heroic actions. He commanded the fleet that took the city and port of New Orleans and he invaded Mobile Bay and helped to secure one of the most decisive victories of the war. Afterwards, he became the first Admiral of the US Navy. Farragut is still well known for his rallying order at the Battle of Mobile Bay: "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!." He died in 1870.
