AUGUST 3RD, 1864: Union Lt. J.C. Watson and his boat crew made a final night expedition into the waters of Mobile Bay under the guns of Fort Morgan. Although they were constantly in danger of being discovered by the lights of the fort, the bold sailors worked all night to deactivate and sink Confederate torpedoes in the channel preparatory to Farragut's rush into Mobile Bay.
