A paddlewheel steamboat with brightly lit windows moves along the Mississippi River at night under a full moon. City lights line the distant shore, and reflections shimmer across the water. Baton Rouge sits on the river's east bank and has long been a Louisiana river port and the state capital. The scene draws on the Mississippi's steamboat era, when paddlewheelers carried passengers and freight along the river.
