About the Lecture:
When Mobile became the Confederacy’s most important Gulf port, Alabama emerged as a center for ironclad construction. This presentation explores the development of vessels, including CSS Tennessee, the South’s most formidable ram. Despite strong armor and firepower, Tennessee was outmatched during Admiral Farragut’s 1864 attack on Mobile Bay. The program examines Alabama’s ironclads, their strengths, limitations, and ultimate surrender in 1865.

In person is free for Museum Members and included in $1 admission.

This lecture is also livestreamed and free to watch online.
