This boat carried the body of General Stonewall Jackson to Lexington, Va. for burial in 1863. It was the last of the canal boats
to enter Lynchburg and was beached on the south bank of James River one mile above the city and remained there until
carried away by the flood of 1913. The old hull, constructed of galvanized iron is 90x14 ft. and is on display at Riverside Park.
The last owner and captain was James A. Wilkinson and the last mate was Captain Wilkinson's son, James P. Wilkinson.
