- Description:
- A modern tourboat passes the Confederate Powder Works chimney in Augusta along the Augusta Canal. The Georgia Community Greenspace Program has worked to preserve the Augusta Canal as an important historic and archaeological site.
Photograph of a modern tourboat passing the Confederate Powder Works in Augusta, Georgia along the Augusta Canal. It is a large brick building with a tall chimney rising from the front. The boat is low and wide, and it is a completely open vessel.
The Augusta Canal, which opened in 1846, provided transportation and waterpower during the Civil War for the powder works, as well as for a Confederate firearms plant, ordnance foundry, and bakery. The chimney of the Powder Works still stands as a memorial to the Confederate dead. - Metadata URL:
