Brick_Wood_Stone_Land_Water_Measurement A Richmond merchant managed the difficult and dangerous job of loading the heavy marble capitals onboard the small vessels that would carry them by water from Rockett’s wharf on the James River in Richmond to Milton, the busy village on the Rivanna River just east of Charlottesville near Monticello. Rockett’s Landing was a major wharf on the James River in Richmond in the vicinity of 31st and Mains streets where “various steamers plying between Richmond and Norfolk, Fortress Monroe, Baltimore, and New York” arrived and departed. Robert Rockett operated a ferry there as early as 1730 and tradition has it that Abe Lincoln walked from Rockett’s to the Davis mansion when he visited Richmond on 5 April 1865.
