One of twenty six nine inch guns in the battery of Admiral Farragut's historic flagship Hartford, this gun served during the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865, at the battles of New Orleans, Vicksburg, Port Hudson, and Mobile, and later stood as a silent reminder to rising generations of the navy's deeds in that fierce conflict, in which this gun effectively spoke for liberty and a united country. Mounted July 4th 1905.
