Miller, Photographic History of the Civil War, Vol. 1, p233: Coaling Farragut’s Fleet after New Orleans. Coaling Farragut’s Fleet at Baton Rouge… In the two pictures on this page [see Related Image] we are shown scenes along the levee in 1862 [sic], at Baton Rouge, and out in the river, a part of the fleet. The vessel with sails let down to dry is the sloop-of-war Mississippi; ahead of her and a little inshore about to drop her anchor, is one of the smaller steamers that composed the third division of the fleet. Nearby lies a mortar schooner and a vessel laden with coal.
Library of Congress says: Gun-boats at Baton Rouge, La., March 1863.
The MOLLUS Collection says: Mississippi River. Baton Rouge, La. Mortar Vessels – U.S.S. Winona. – U.S.S. Richmond. – U.S.S. Mississippi.
