A recent addition to VCU Libraries' Special Collections and Archives, James Branch Cabell Library. Click on the image to enjoy the colorful cover - it shows the palace steamer Pocahontas. "Afoat on the James" - published by the Giles Co., New York, 84 pages, wonderful images including many of the steamships operating on the James at the time of its publication, 1895.

Oy. Here's something else I wish I'd had for Ragtime. There were two of these boats, the Pocahontas and the Berkeley, and I believe the Pocahontas had a severe fire around 1905 or so -- it's in "Maritime Richmond." But they refitted it. The Berkeley was built at the Trigg Yards.
