The Battle of Aquia Creek took place from May 29 - June 1 , 1861 in Stafford County, Virginia as part of the blockade of Chesapeake Bay during the American Civil War . Three Union naval vessels bombarded Confederate Batteries near the mouth of Aquia Creek that were built to protect the northern Terminus of the railroad to Richmond . Confederates feared a landing of troops, but this did not materialize. Results of the bombardment were inconclusive, although the batteries were later withdrawn. SOURCE |
