Was the Agawam At Donaldsonville, Louisiana?


From Wikipedia.

I have the Agawam as being launched 21 April 1863, but not commissioned until 9 March 1864.  If it was launched in April 1863, it might have been, but not if it had no active duty until 1864.

Plus, there is no mention of the Agawam being in the Mississippi River.

As such, I am not sure the Agawam was at Donaldsonville, Louisiana, on July 7, 1963.

America's Navy site has the ships Dewey served on 1861 ti 1867 as follows:  USS Mississippi, USS Brooklyn, USS Agawam, USS Colorado, USS Kearsarge, USS Canadiagua, and back to the USS Colorado.
