Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Documents, 1823, Vol. 4 Sm: Captain Dale, of the United States' Navy, called upon me this morning, and in conversation upon the naval arsenal or dry docks 'pro posed by you to be erected at the Federal City, which he most warmly approved, he informed me that the Swedish Government had lately conceiv ed the idea of adopting the same means of preserving their navy in times of peace. The Swedish Admiral Soderstrom described to him the situation of the dock. Which was then in the progress of construction. It was intended to contain eight ships of 74 guns, and another was projected to contain twelve; in all, making provision for 20 ships of the line. The situation was remarkably favorable. Deep water close to a perpendicular rock, which can be easily wrought. Gives the opportunity of excavating the dock the rock forms the wall. And the roof is laid over, such a height, that the ships go in with their lower masts standing. Cap tain Dale did not exactly know how the ships were worked into the deck, but from his description of the situation I presume they 'are tide-docks. Admiral Soderstrom said that the vessels were to be washed with fresh water, perfectly drained, and opened to a circulation of air; and that he had no doubt of their remaining in perfect repair in the dock fora century, and gave many reasons for'bis opinion. Which were convincing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Documents, 1826 Little Wills Creek and Buffalo Run were gauged* at the points A and B, the extremes of the shorter proposed summit level, and were found to discharge, the former six, and the latter nine cubic feet per second, equal together fifteen cubic feet. This supply, it is presumed, would be adequate to the demand of the summit, if it could be relied on as constant; but it is known that a calculation of this kind would be greatly erroneous. These streams were represented by some per sons (who, residing in their vicinity, must necessarily have noticed their changes, ) as discharging, at the period of the examination, about double the quantity they give in the dryest season this would give, supposing their estimate correct, but 7% cubic feet as their collective minimum expense, and even this, it is believed, would, after a fair in vestigation, be found to exceed the truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the fights of founding fathers to those fought in the supreme court, the pivotal role of this unassuming canal comes to life with historic images and insider insights. With the founding of his Patowmack Company in 1785, George Washington first hoped to make the Potomac River a viable route to America's West. The skirting canals the company constructed around the Great Falls rapids at Harpers Ferry, Seneca, and Little Falls made the Potomac's rushing waters navigable. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company was chartered by Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania in 1828 to build a truly useful canal through to the Ohio Valley. President John Quincy Adams turned the first spadeful of dirt on Independence Day of 1828 for what was hailed as the "Great National Project" to connect Georgetown to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The canal created an entire community of people and a way of life different from any other. At the height of operations, over 500 boats plied the 184.5 miles of the canal's waters. After many financial difficulties, competition from railroads, and the devastating effects of the Civil War as well as a flood, the canal went into receivership and was closed in 1924. In 1954, Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas brought attention back to the canal with a fight to preserve the natural beauty for local residents. Today, the canal-listed as a National Historical Park-provides thousands with recreational opportunities, scenic nature trails, and gorgeous views.
