Dutch Gap Canal Recalls Butler's James River Effort
The Boston Globe recounts General Butler's talk on the Dutch Gap canal project during the Civil War. He explains Grant backed the plan to divert water for ironclads to pass the bend, the seven mile detour, and the delays that prevented completion. He cites later river actions and a naval officer’s dismissal, asserting Dutch Gap as the only practical route to James River navigation.
