Virtual Adult Program: Civil War Round Table
Main Library
Thursday, Apr. 27, 6:55PM-8:30PM
The Battle of Mobile Bay, August 5, 1864, was marked by Admiral Farragut's seemingly-rash but successful run through a minefield that had just claimed one of his ironclad monitors, enabling his fleet to get beyond the range of the shore-based guns. This was followed by a reduction of the Confederate fleet to a single vessel, ironclad CSS Tennessee. Mobile, Alabama was then no longer the Confederacy's last major port open on the Gulf of Mexico.
Admiral Farragut will be portrayed by Professor Bruce Tucker, history lecturer at Rutgers University School of Continuing Education, Naval Historian and Living History presenter. He has presented at local NJ, Pennsylvania & Delaware Schools, Libraries, and Living History events and is returning to the NJCWRT.
This program is presented and hosted by the North Jersey Civil War Round Table as a public service.
Registration is required-this program will be virtual via zoom.
