"The cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Berkeley, all integral parts of Greater Norfolk, are situated on the Elizabeth River, an arm of Chesapeake Bay - the three municipalities aggregating a population of about 125,000 people. Here are located the terminals of eight great trunk lines of railroads connected by uniting Belt Line, and here are the piers of many transatlantic, coastwise and interior steamship lines. No harbor on the Atlantic coast is so commodious, has such an abundance of anchorage ground and such splendid dockage facilities. It is deep enough for the largest ships and well protected by powerful defenses, including the famous Fort Monroe."
