Answer

The final Confederate port on the Gulf of Mexico to fall to Union forces led by Admiral David Farragut was Mobile Bay in Alabama. Farragut's victory in the Battle of Mobile Bay in August 1864 was a significant blow to the Confederacy, as it cut off a vital supply route and further tightened the Union's blockade of the Southern coast.
