Sup /k/? I recently visited Fort Gaines in Alabama and thought I'd share some /k/ related pics.

Fort Gaines participated in the Battle of Mobile Bay between the Union and Confederate navies in 1864 and resulted in a Union victory. During the battle Admiral Farragut spoke his famous and frequently misquoted "Damn the torpedoes!" line.

I'll do my best to label everything properly but please correct me if I get anything mixed up.

First up this little Howitzer. Why is it so cute?

This lady, Frances Clayton, disguised herself as a man and enlisted with her husband. She participated in several battles but left the army after her husband was killed.

Last one. This is one of the anchors from the USS Hartford, Admiral Farragut's flagship.

Anyone, hope someone enjoyed the museum tour.

I've been there a couple of times. Cool stuff. That aircraft museum makes me diamonds.
