On the Mississippi and adjacent waters
Gunboat number 53 --an officer spying the shore opposite Baton Rouge
A powerful reenforcement to the river fleet: the monster ironclad Choctaw
This huge vessel was one of the first attempts to develop the Eads type of gunboat.
She, with the Tuscumbia, the Indianola, the Lafayette, and the Chillicothe, was added to the Mississippi squadron after Admiral Porter took command, and all received their baptism in the operations of the Vicksb on the sick-list.
The ram Arkansas, whose hastily built machinery was totally inadequate to the handling of her mighty bulk, had been prepared as well as could be for making a combination with General John C. Breckinridge in the attack upon Baton Rouge.
But her engines continually breaking down, she arrived too late, and although Lieutenant Stevens, her new commander, was eager to put his vessel into action, she ran aground, on the 6th of August, just as the Essex hove in sight.
