DescriptionWooden Replacement of Appomattox Canal Aqueduct - Petersburg 1865.jpg
English: Canal Aqueduct - Petersburg 1865 During the Siege of Petersburg, in the American Civil War, there were not enough soldiers to block Union advancement in all places. The C.S.A dammed Rohoic Creek with a large dam that would be difficult to cross. The dam failed and washed away the 1826 aqueduct and the Southside Railroad. The Confederates rebuilt a Wooden Aqueduct for the Canal.
