In 1905 Norfolk was a growing port on the Elizabeth River, and its population had climbed past 40,000 by the start of the decade. Shipyards, coal and cargo wharves, and the electric streetcar lines that carried workers between the waterfront and new neighborhoods all shaped daily life. Across the river, the Navy Yard at Portsmouth kept the city tied to the federal government and its warships. Local boosters were already preparing for the Jamestown Exposition, a federal fair planned for Sewells Point just outside the city, which many Norfolk residents expected would bring visitors and investment to Hampton Roads.
