 She survived an attack by two ships at Vicksburg, but two weeks later, in a battle near Baton Rouge, the ship was disabled and drifted ashore. Her crew set the Arkansas on fire rather than be captured by Union forces. Just one year later, in 1863, another ship, which would eventually carry the state's name, was commissioned for the Union as Tonawanda. Later, the name would be changed to Arkansas. In 1865, the ship was decommissioned and sold to private interests.
