Cushing's Torpedo Strike Sinks Albemarle
On October 27, 1864, Lieut. William Barker Cushing and 15 volunteers, in two small launches, mounted a torpedo on a pole and drifted under the Confederate ram Albemarle. After bravely facing heavy fire and near-certain peril, the torpedo detonated, sinking the ram and signaling a turning point in naval warfare. Cushing, a Wisconsin native, died in 1874 at age 32.
