About this listen

In this debut episode, we set sail—figuratively andhistorically—down the Rappahannock River to explore the story of the batteau, a flat-bottomed wooden boat once envisioned to transform trade in the area.

Tune in for a fascinating conversation with FAM’s CuratorKylie Thomson about river transport, local history, and what the batteau’s story tells us about the ambitions—and limitations—of early infrastructure in Fredericksburg.

Discover what these boats were, why they mattered, and how their story still ripples through local history today.
