Description
Norfolk, at the mouth of the James River has a natural harbor. This together with its railroad connections with the interior, makes it one of the finest shipping ports in the United States. This picture was taken looking north toward Old Point Comfort. The harbor, docks, railroad terminals and most of the two cities are well shown. Recently the land sank, and stream valleys were changed into ocean bays--thus causing the present relations of land and water.
