Damn the Torpedoes! Admiral Farragut at Mobile Bay
with Ranger Karlton Smith

Sail from Gettysburg to the Gulf coast and witness Admiral David Farragut’s daring 1864 assault on Mobile Bay. Through dramatic storytelling, this program explores Farragut’s leadership, the famous command —“Damn the torpedoes!”—and the naval courage that helped turn the tide of the Civil War.

Rangers present evening campfire talks on a wide variety of topics on the Battle of Gettysburg and the American Civil War. Programs take place at the Pitzer Woods Amphitheater, near Auto Tour Stop #6.

Bench seating is available, visitors are welcome to bring their own chairs if preferred. Appropriate seasonal clothing and insect spray recommended. Both the amphitheater area and parking lot can be very dark, flashlights also recommended.

Schedule subject to change without notice.
