Coaling Admiral Farragut's Fleet at Baton Rouge, Louisiana (U.S. Civil War) Color Changing Coffee Mug 11oz

Coaling Admiral Farragut's Fleet at Baton Rouge, Louisiana (U.S. Civil War) This work is a historical depiction of the event that took place during the U.S. Civil War when Admiral David Glasgow Farragut coaled his fleet in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The coaling process refers to the act of refueling naval ships with coal, which was the primary source of energy for steam-powered vessels at that time. The specific event depicted here occurred in 1862, during the Union's campaign to seize control of the Mississippi River from Confederate forces. The painting offers a snapshot of the logistical aspects involved in military operations during this period and serves as an important historical record. It is noteworthy that Admiral Farragut was a prominent naval officer, known for his successful leadership during the Civil War, particularly at the Battle of Mobile Bay.
