Lynchburg Bateau Festival (the Lady's Slipper)
Mrs. Ann Royal, was impressed by the freight boats (Batteaux) at Lynchburg, and their ability to carry heavy hogsheads on shallow waters. After some questioning Mrs. Royal was told that each hogshead weighed 1500 pounds and that a Bateau could transport 9000 pounds of cargo or more, depending on river conditions. During this time (1820-1840), there were at least 500 Batteaux and more than 1500 Bateaumen operating between Lynchburg and Richmond alone.
