Smithfield Waterfront in the Days of Sail

29 Jan 23:

We purchased this watercolor that depicts the Smithfield waterfront along the Pagan River in the days of sail. The warehouses were destroyed in the 1921 fire, and taking their place now are a few townhouses, a dock and the headquarter facilities for Smithfield Foods.

Permission from Smithfield Foods is required to access the public dock. The Pagan River is accessible from the James River, Clontz Park boat ramp and Jones Creek Boat Ramp.
