Come join us on, August 12th, for our guest speaker Tom Robinson. He will talk about ship building in Richmond during the Civil War. At Richmond, canals along the James supplied the Tredegar ironworks and Virginia State Armory, enabling manufacture of munitions crucial for Confederate forces. Tredegar-made sheathing also covered the ironclad CSS Virginia , which helped change naval warfare forever. Subsequently, Tredegar provided iron for Confederate shipyards at Rocketts Landing and across the river at Manchester, aiding construction of several major ironclads. Richmond was also base for these vessels serving in Virginia's James River Squadron. For more information on the history of Richmond click here. Come at 6:00 to sit and talk with your friends. The meeting will start at 7:00 with club information, followed by a featured speaker and the raffle!
