Abstract:
River traffic near Tarboro after the Civil War saw an increase. One of the most noticed vessels of that time was the steamer Cotton Plant, beginning service about 1867. This vessel sank in 1869 but was eventually recovered and put back in service until 1892, when destroyed by fire. One of the last active steamers on the Tar River, the Shiloh served the area until 1923.
