Norfolk Port Offers Great Facilities Despite Low Investment
The Port of Norfolk is praised by the Financial Review as a well located Atlantic port on Chesapeake Bay near the James River. It is described as a natural terminus for Southern rail lines east of the Appalachians and a prime center for distribution and export of domestic products. The piece notes Norfolk’s growing population and new industries, yet laments few major importers establishing here and mentions Norfolk Chamber of Commerce publishing a report with maps and details at the Brussels Commercial Museum. Also included is a separate notice about fox bell signaling changes at North Point Conanicut Island around June 1, 1897, and a local incident where Miss May Moore, daughter of a Garnetville farmer, chased down a thief who had stolen her sister Alice’s bicycle and recovered it.
