X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The Potomac River has always been busy\, b
 ut in the 19th century\, it got considerably busier and more hazardous wit
 h the introduction of steamships. The River was also full of dangerous sho
 als and narrow turns\, making it necessary to install aids to navigation\,
  including lighthouses and light vessels.</p>\n<p>By the start of the Amer
 ican Civil War\, six aids of various types were in use on the Potomac betw
 een Alexandria\, Virginia and Piney Point\, Maryland. All of these aids we
 re targeted by the Confederates at one time or another. Foxhall A. Parker\
 , Commander of the Potomac Flotilla\, wrote &ldquo\;while there are so man
 y rebel sympathizers in Maryland and on the eastern shore of Virginia none
  of the lighthouses there located are safe.&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>Join us as we 
 explore the conditions on the Potomac River during the Civil War\, especia
 lly in reference to the lighthouses and light vessels\, and the dangers th
 ey faced.</p>\nhttps://stmalib.libnet.info/event/9254937
