 Then we drove about 25 miles to see the hand operated ferry boat across the James River. Visit the website at Jamesriver.com
|  It wasn't in operation today but it was interesting to see how people hundreds of years ago got farm good to the train next to the river.
|  Panorama of the Hatton Ferry and James River. Only 2 such hand operated craft remain in the USA. It is near Scottsville, VA.
