Admiral Farragut was the top Union Naval offier of the American Civil War. This was the man who said, ''Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead.'' The eyes fascinate me - calm and fierce at the same time. Appears in [[David Farragut]]. Unknown photographer; restoration by [[User:Durova|Durova]].

;Comments:
*Nice find. Historical and definitely meets the size requirements. Hopefully, if you end up nominating this, the complaints of blurry hair,etc. won't be made without realizing that photography was still in its infancy back then.—[[User:DMCer|<span style="color:#008000">DMCer</span>]][[User_talk:DMCer|<span style="color:#800000">™</span>]] 04:47, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
**Thank you. Three generals' portraits from this war are are already featured pictures, but no naval officer portraits are FPs. I downsampled a bit to address the focus. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Durova|<span style="color:#009">Durova</span>]]</font><sup>''[[User talk:Durova|Charge!]]''</sup> 05:38, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
