Evacuation of Aquia Creek. June, 1863. Photographer: O'Sullivan, Timothy H.
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: War Photography
View looking towards paddle steamers moored at the quayside, with barges in mid-stream in the foreground. A photograph 'taken a few hours previous to the abandonment of Aquia Creek in June, 1863 … The steamers were already heavily laden with with stores, wagons, etc., and the evacuation was attended with scenes that would have been regarded as ridiculous but for the general alarm. The barges anchored in the stream were locked together for the transportation of the cars on the wharf, and were towed to Washington by the steamers loaded with passengers ... The landing is now used by the Washington, Fredericksburg and Richmond Railroad Company, but will probably never be more than an ordinary station. Fever and ague prevail during the summer, forbidding the growth of a village, and with the completion of the railroad to Alexandria, the place will doubtless sink into oblivion, except as connected with the military operations of the great rebellion.'
