Alexandria, Va. Steam Frigate Pensacola (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

The "Steam Frigate Pensacola," as referenced in the title, was a U.S. Navy vessel built specifically for the service during the mid-19th century. Commissioned in 1859, this steam-powered frigate operated primarily along the East Coast of the United States until the onset of the American Civil War. Upon the outbreak of conflict, the Pensacola was deployed to the Gulf of Mexico and became engaged in several significant naval battles during the conflict. Notably, it participated in the Battle of Mobile Bay under the command of Admiral David Farragut, an iconic figure of the Union Navy. After the war, the ship was decommissioned and eventually broken up for scrap in 1875. The Steam Frigate Pensacola holds historical significance as a symbol of maritime power during the Civil War era and is often studied in U.S. naval history.
