Virginia. Union engineers blew a charge of 12,000 pounds of gunpowder to open the canal at Dutch Gap in order to enable passage of vessels up the James River. The canal was not fully operational until April 1865. While this was too late to be of military value it was subsequently improved and become the main route for navigating the river past the newly formed Farrar Island.

Virginia. At the year’s end, the opposing forces at Petersburg and Richmond remained fixed in their siege lines by wintry weather. The Confederates had 57,134 men, including over 5,300 Reserves. They were outnumbered more than two-to-one by the Union Army of the Potomac with 83,846 men, and the Army of the James with 40,452 men.
