Pontoon Bridge Innovation by Army of the Potomac
The engineering brigade of the Army of the Potomac shows advanced skill in flying pontoon bridges. After a 75 000 troop review, Col. Alexander and Gen. McClellan watched a 300 foot bridge built in 20 minutes with a platoon crossing successfully. Four dozen boats are planned, each 34 feet long and 24 feet deep, with a hollow wall and trestles of pine boards to support wagons or artillery, enabling a continuous bridge from 600 to 800 feet.
