Grant ' s efforts to capture Vicksburg , Mississippi . Reacquired by the Union Navy after temporary absence . Following the fall of that Confederate river fortress in the summer of 1863 , " Lavinia Logan " seems to have returned to private hands for a time . In any case , the Union Navy acquired the vessel at Louisville , Kentucky , in the spring of 1864 ; and , on 26 May of that year , Rear Admiral David D . Porter wrote to Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles reporting the purchase and recommending that her name be changed to " Antelope " .

By 4 September , the tinclad — commanded by Acting Master John Ross — was at Pass a l ’ Outre where she had relieved the sidewheeler " Meteor " . While she was there , she began taking on considerable water ; and her leaks steadily increased . An inspection of the inside of her hull revealed that " . . . the leak was not confined to any one place , but extended to all parts of the bottom sides . " After she had been on station for a full week , Ross reported " . . . the condition of the vessel and that I was obliged to keep up 60 pounds of steam to work the steam pumps , as we could not keep her free by the hand pumps . " The ship was relieved as soon as possible and ordered back to New Orleans , Louisiana , for repairs . On the evening of 22 September , during her trip upriver , " Antelope " came upon " Suffolk " — abandoned and in a sinking condition — and towed that Army transport to shoal water where she would be safe on the flats . " Antelope " then resumed her ascent of the river . " Antelope " beaches herself to prevent her total loss . About 4 : 30 a . m . , upon learning that his ship was sinking , Ross " . . . ordered the helm hard aport , to beach her . . . . " While filling rapidly , " Antelope " grounded enabling her crew to save her ordnance and equipment . No record of efforts to salvage the ship has been found .
