Naval History and Heritage Command says: Shipping at City Point, Virginia, circa 1864-1865. Most of the vessels near shore appear to be schooners, though some are barges and other small craft. Several steamships are in the distance, including a large former blockade runner in the center. Beyond her is USS Malvern, flagship of the commander of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter.
The sailing vessel at left is displaying a small sign that reads “Apples – Potatoes.”
