EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intense gaze and unyielding determination of David Glasgow Farragut, one of the most renowned U.S. Navy officers of the 19th century. Born in Tennessee in 1801, Farragut rose through the ranks of the Navy, becoming a key figure during the American Civil War. With the rank of Flag Officer, he is best known for his daring leadership during the Battle of Mobile Bay on August 5, 1864, when he famously ordered his ships to "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" as they sailed through a Confederate minefield. The portrait, painted by contemporary artist William Swain in 1838, captures Farragut in the prime of his career, before the Civil War. He is depicted in full military uniform, with the distinctive gold buttons and braids indicative of his rank. The painting hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C., a testament to Farragut's enduring legacy as a naval hero. Farragut's story is a remarkable one of perseverance and courage. He joined the Navy as a midshipman at the age of 11, and despite facing numerous challenges throughout his career, including the loss of several ships and the death of his wife, he continued to serve his country with distinction. His leadership during the Civil War helped turn the tide in favor of the Union, and his legacy as an American hero endures to this day. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who embodied the spirit of the U.S. Navy during a pivotal moment in American history. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served their country in uniform, and the enduring importance of military leadership in times of conflict.
