C.W. Pettit

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.
