Date Posted: Jan 31, 2022 Description: Just east of the Splat Brothers Park. This area has been settled and unsettled many times by Native Americans and European invaders. It's been forest and cropland--tobacco and cotton--and forest again. Now there's a new crop: electrons. The deepest part of the James River is that narrow stretch just right of or center. The nautical charts say it's 95 feet deep there. It's essentially sea level at the surface. All I know is that most of Virginia drains right through there. (After heavy rains, much of Richmond, which has an ancient combined sewer system that occasionally overflows, flushes through it.) A couple of bends farther downstream is the Surrey nuclear power plant. And then Jamestown Island, where John Rolfe met and married Pocahontas, who went by Rebecca thereafter, until she died in England in 1617.
