Army of the Potomac Trip in Patapsco Parade Nearly Abandoned by Weather

The voyage on the Louisa included Fort McHenry and North Point stops, with 140 Washington Light Infantry and U S Marine Band participants. After showers ceased, the parade proceeded though weather dampened excitement, ending with a banquet at Concordia Opera House for 275 attendees and a Cleveland telegram of regret read aloud amid cheers for General Grant.
