Under the early light of dawn, Union Adm. David Farragut began his attack on Mobile Bay, Alabama.  Unfortunately, the lead ironclad, the USS Tecumseh, unable to avoid the danger, struck a mine and sank into the oceans depths. Yet, the seasoned admiral ordered his flagship, the Hartford, and his fleet to move forward through the underwater minefield and into Mobile Bay.
