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: U.S.S. Kineo and Hartford, March 1863 [Summary: Stereograph showing gunboats at dock at Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Hartford, Farragut’s flagship, is on the left, not the right. The gunboat Kineo is on the right.]
