Conquering the current the “Suck” in the Tennessee River below Chattanooga. Through this narrow gorge in Raccoon Mountain the water rushes with such force that vessels cannot stem the current under their own steam.

In the picture one of the River steamers acquired after the occupation is being warped through this difficult part of the stream.
