You may have heard the phrase, "D*** the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!" before, but do you know where that phrase was made famous? In this episode, we're headed to L.A. (Lower Alabama) to the site on one of the most famous naval battles of the Civil War, the Battle of Mobile Bay. We'll be exploring the historic structure of Fort Gaines and exploring what it was like to be a Confederate soldier there in the 1860s. Much to see and learn here!
