That was the Hartford, the flagship of the first officer to have the rank of Admiral, United States Navy: David Glasgow Farragut of Tennessee. She was his command vessel in the running of Forts Jackson and St- Philip at New Orleans, in the bombardment and passage of the batteries at Vicksburg, and in the reduction of Port Hudson.1st Lt. M.

She was armed withI22 9-inch, smooth-bore cannon in broadside and two 20-pounder Parrott rifled guns. The U.S.8. Pensaeola, launched a few months afterward, was longer, larger in tonnage, and heavier armed than the Hartford, but she never figured as importantly as the latter. She, like the Hartford, escaped the astonishing disaster at Norfolk in April 1861, when the Navy’s largest force in being, 10 line-of-battle ships, frigates and sloops, were scuttled.
