On 30 July 2014 the United States Postal Service issued a set of two stamps commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. The stamps come in sheets of 12 with each stamp having a current face value of $0.49. One of the stamps depicts the Battle of Mobile Bay on 5 Aug 1864. The Battle of Mobile Bay stamp is a reproduction of a painting by Julian Oliver Davidson, published ca. 1886 by Louis Prang & Co. To the right of Fort Morgan Mobile Point lighthouse is visible. The lighthouse was severely damaged by gunfire and was later rebuilt. There is an interesting article about the lighthouse here.
