Bodkin Creek Project Completed

Pamunkey River Project
White House Landing on the Pamunkey River in Virginia was for a time an important logistics base
for the Union Army in the spring of 1862.
Barges side by side were part of the water borne supply net to support General McClellans Peninsula Campaign
by way of the York River. MAHS is currently working on a project to investigate these barges or canal boats.
