Medical supply boat. Appomattox Landing, Va., January, 1865. Photographer: Reekie, John
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: War Photography
View looking towards the river and the moorings of the paddle steamer 'Planter,' a smaller steamboat 'Relief,' and a number of barges: 'Historically connected with the closing scenes of the great rebellion, this river will forever be interesting. This picture was taken about a mile above City Point, the boats being a portion of the fleet in the service of the Medical Department. The well-known supply boat, Planter, is lying at a little pier, formed by a section of a pontoon bridge. In the foreground is another pier, somewhat more solidly constructed on piles, driven into the oozy bed of the river. The opposite bank forms a part of Bermuda Hundreds, occupied by Gen. Butler after the failure of his advance upon Richmond.'
