Appomattox Planter Point Supply Vicinity Wharf
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Medical Supply Boat Planter at the General Hospital wharf in the vicinity of City Point, Virginia, during the American Civil War. The image, dating between 1860 and 1865, provides a poignant glimpse into the siege of Petersburg, which lasted from June 1864 to April 1865. City Point, located on the Appomattox River, served as a crucial supply and logistical hub for the Union Army during the final stages of the war. The General Hospital, visible in the background, was one of the many facilities established to care for the wounded soldiers. The Medical Supply Boat Planter, anchored at the wharf, played a vital role in the delivery of essential medical supplies and provisions to the hospitals and troops in the area. The boat's cargo, which included bandages, medicines, and other medical equipment, was unloaded and transported to the hospitals via wagons or on foot. The photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of war, with the makeshift hospital tents and the worn-out boats in the foreground, contrasting with the lush greenery and serene water in the background. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the medical personnel and soldiers during the siege of Petersburg, and the crucial role that logistical support played in the outcome of the war.
