In 1900, Norfolk and Southern Railroad expanded considerably by acquiring the Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Southern Railroads. The acquisition included six steamboats known as "stern wheelers." The C.W. Pettit, a passenger vessel built in 1895, was condemned and dismantled March 1904. In 1900 it was moored at Wallaceton, near Glencoe and Beechwood, two of the area's most impressive antebellum plantations. Limited-edition run of 750 24" x 30" lithographic prints |
