USS Louisana coaling in HR 1915.

Louisiana returned to Hampton Roads in August 1914, but the Navy ordered her back to Mexico in early 1915.  At left, the battleship’s company hand-fills bags of coal from a barge.   The ship’s coal bunker could hold over 2,000 tons of coal.  After the 1915 deployment to Mexico, she returned home and the Navy placed her in reserve status.
