According to Scottsville's website, the town "served as Virginia's westernmost center of government and commerce during the 1700s, when rivers were the primary means of travel in the new American wilderness." During the late 18th and the 19th centuries attempts were made to improve navigability along the James, as well as other central Virginian rivers. Part of this was the construction of a canal running roughly parallel with the James west from Richmond.
This summer (2014) the James River, all 340 miles of it, will be photographed Richmond-based Terrain 360 and Outside Adventure.
It's been more than 400 years since English colonists started exploring the James River, but a new expedition will launch this summer (2014) with a distinctly 21st-century mission.
