From the Archives: Deep Water Terminal
In December 1964, rolls of newsprint were hoisted from a ship at Richmond’s Deepwater Terminal in preparation for delivery. The Virginia State Ports Authority was hoping to substantially increase trade activity; it had recently opened an office in Tokyo, adding to international locations in London and Brussels.
The port was built in 1940 as a general marine cargo terminal facility. For many years sugar and tobacco were the main products passing through the port. Newsprint also became a major cargo when local newspapers began to use domestic paper. In the late 1970s, the first containerized ocean shipping was introduced at the port and the importing and exporting of products expanded immensely.
