I just learned that a small ferry at Williamsport was the only means to cross the Potomac river upon Lee's retreat from Gettysburg. A very slow process while waiting for the pontoon bridge to be built at Falling Waters. I am watching a very good history channel documentary on the retreat from Gettysburg. "Retreat From Gettysburg Lee, Logistics and the Pennsylvania Campaign" The only problem is I am unable to confirm this Ferry existed, for some reason Mr. Lemon's Ferry has captured my attention. Can anyone shed more light on this subject? Just curious.
