    Original Antique Civil War Print
    US Ships 'Seminole' and 'Pocahontas' engaging the Confederate batteries at Evansport
    At Evansport, Virginia, The Confederates had an artillery battery at a critical location on the Potomac River which successfully prevented supplies from reaching Washington.  This illustration which first appeared in Harper's Weekly newspaper in 1961 depicts the US ships 'Seminole' and 'Pocahontas' engaged with the Confederate shore battery in an attempt to destroy it.
