"The Pocahontas Steamboat"

18" x 30" - Watercolor

The Pocahontas was built in Wilmington, DE in 1893.  At that time, she was considered the Cadillac of Steamboats.  Her appointments were designed to meet the luxurious passengers required for day trips on the James River from Norfolk to Richmond, Virginia.  In this painting, Pocahontas is seen leaving Norfolk at 7:00 a.m. for the trip to Richmond.
