Location either at Weyanoke Point or Powhattan Point, near Harrison's Landing, VA. Soldiers are crossing the bridge while cavalry troopers wait to cross. The bridge appears to have a section detached to allow the ship on the left passage. The camera is elevated to provide a nice view of the crossing. Numeric notation: "X 781."
