It was the apex in a series of naval and land skirmishes around the mouth of the Sabine River, Texas, and preceded by four weeks the Union Navy's first armed entry into Galveston Bay called the Battle of Galveston Harbor. Besides strengthening the Union naval blockade of the Texas coastline, the shelling and capture of Sabine Pass was to deter Confederate ground forces from moving southwestward on the Texas coast to augment Galveston's defense. And, it was to open the way for the Union invasion of Texas, which almost a year later was attempted by a combined force of Union naval and army forces at the Second Battle of Sabine Pass. == Background == Sabine Pass is the waterway serving as the outlet of the Sabine Lake estuary formed by the confluence of the Neches and Sabine rivers. The port at Sabine City was connected by a rail spur to the rail line running from the eastern border of Texas to Houston and Galveston. Although the port and entrance to the pass over the bar were shallow, it served coastal trade and, increasingly, blockade runners.〔Cotham, p. 9-13〕 The commander of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron, Rear Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, believed that the best way to blockade a port was to seize it. 〔Cotham, p. 25〕 In September 1862 Farragut encouraged Master Frederick Crocker in the steamer to capture the port. Farragut assigned Acting Master Quincy Hooper in the schooner to assist. On September 23, the vessels arrived off of the pass and were joined by Acting Master Lewis Pennington in the mortar schooner . The captains conferred and determined that they would not attempt to get the deep draft ''Kensington'' over the bar, but instead would use the schooners to make the attack. Late that afternoon the ''Rachel Seaman'' made it over, but the slightly deeper draft ''Henry Janes'' became stuck when the tide fell.〔Cotham, pp. 28-9〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「First Battle of Sabine Pass」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
