USS Essex (1861-1865)
At a Mississippi River area port, circa 1862-65.
Note: The original caption identified location and date
as Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in July 1862. However, the presence
of a mortar boat (at right) indicates that either the date is
later or the location is above Vicksburg if the photo was taken
in 1862.
The original photograph accompanied a claim filed by James A.
Payne.
