Description: The City of Baton Rouge, another Anchor Liner, was built at Jeffersonville, Indiana in 1881. Captain Horace Bixby was her master. She was nearly lost on her maiden trip when she stuck on the Louisville falls and stayed there for three weeks. She sank at Hermitage, Louisiana, at 3:00 PM, December 12, 1890 on the same snag in the same spot that sank the Paris C. Brown the year prior or in early January 1899.
