Established in 1785, George Washington was the first major investor as well as the first president of the company. And along with Thomas Johnson, Thomas Sim Lee, George Gilpin, and John Fitzgerald, he was appointed director of the company. The Potomac Navigation Company employed James Rumsey, inventor of the steamboat, to manage the mechanics of building the canals, Richardson Stewart as his assistant, and William Hartshorne as the treasurer.  They supervised hundreds of laborers, indentured servants, and slaves to build five canals surrounding major waterfalls in the area: House's, Shenandoah, Seneca, Little Falls and Great Falls.","Although supported by both the Virginia and Maryland Assemblies, the company was constantly plagued with difficulties and struggled to sell shares to interested buyers.  Water levels prevented boats from reaching their destinations, the company had difficulty securing loans, and the locks were in a constant state of repair; despite these hardships, by 1802 they had created 220 miles of navigable waterways between the Savage River and Washington, D.C.  By the 1820s, a proposal was passed to build a canal that would travel from Washington, D.C. and to the Ohio River; thus transforming the Potomac Navigation Company to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company.","The following manuscripts, reproduction files, and books relate to the formation or business of the Potomac Navigation Company.","Manuscripts: Bill, Washer Blunt to Potomac Comp[any], 1786 March 20\t Letter, Mount Vernon to Judge Michael Jenifer Stone, Charles County, Maryland, 1785 June 15 Letter, Blenhiem to George Washington, 1785 July 10 List of Workmen employed at the Shanandoah Falls from the 4th of August to the 26th of September 1787 List of Workmen at Great Falls 1787 April 11- May 12 Letter, Philadelphia, to Tobias Lear, 1794 December 12 Letter, Philadelphia to Tobias Lear, 1794 December 22 Drawing of an invention for raising and lowering boats over the Great Falls of the Potomac to avoid the construction of locks Letter, Germantown to William Pearce, 1794 August 17 Letter, Philadelphia to Tobias Lear, 1795 December 26 Letter, Philadelphia to [Tobias Lear], 1795 February 18 Newspaper Article, George Washington's arrival in Georgetown for a meeting with fellow business associates of the \"Potowmack Co.\"  Newspaper Article, George Washington's arrival in Georgetown for a meeting with fellow business associates of the \"Potowmack Co.\"  Book of Sales and Mount Vernon Property, 1800-1803 Letter, George Town to George Corbin Washington, 1828 May 7 Certificate to Fielding Lewis, 1828 June 3 Bond, George C.

Established in 1785, George Washington was the first major investor as well as the first president of the company. And along with Thomas Johnson, Thomas Sim Lee, George Gilpin, and John Fitzgerald, he was appointed director of the company. The Potomac Navigation Company employed James Rumsey, inventor of the steamboat, to manage the mechanics of building the canals, Richardson Stewart as his assistant, and William Hartshorne as the treasurer.  They supervised hundreds of laborers, indentured servants, and slaves to build five canals surrounding major waterfalls in the area: House's, Shenandoah, Seneca, Little Falls and Great Falls.","Although supported by both the Virginia and Maryland Assemblies, the company was constantly plagued with difficulties and struggled to sell shares to interested buyers.  Water levels prevented boats from reaching their destinations, the company had difficulty securing loans, and the locks were in a constant state of repair; despite these hardships, by 1802 they had created 220 miles of navigable waterways between the Savage River and Washington, D.C.  By the 1820s, a proposal was passed to build a canal that would travel from Washington, D.C. and to the Ohio River; thus transforming the Potomac Navigation Company to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company.","The following manuscripts, reproduction files, and books relate to the formation or business of the Potomac Navigation Company.","Manuscripts: Bill, Washer Blunt to Potomac Comp[any], 1786 March 20\t Letter, Mount Vernon to Judge Michael Jenifer Stone, Charles County, Maryland, 1785 June 15 Letter, Blenhiem to George Washington, 1785 July 10 List of Workmen employed at the Shanandoah Falls from the 4th of August to the 26th of September 1787 List of Workmen at Great Falls 1787 April 11- May 12 Letter, Philadelphia, to Tobias Lear, 1794 December 12 Letter, Philadelphia to Tobias Lear, 1794 December 22 Drawing of an invention for raising and lowering boats over the Great Falls of the Potomac to avoid the construction of locks Letter, Germantown to William Pearce, 1794 August 17 Letter, Philadelphia to Tobias Lear, 1795 December 26 Letter, Philadelphia to [Tobias Lear], 1795 February 18 Newspaper Article, George Washington's arrival in Georgetown for a meeting with fellow business associates of the \"Potowmack Co.\"  Newspaper Article, George Washington's arrival in Georgetown for a meeting with fellow business associates of the \"Potowmack Co.\"  Book of Sales and Mount Vernon Property, 1800-1803 Letter, George Town to George Corbin Washington, 1828 May 7 Certificate to Fielding Lewis, 1828 June 3 Bond, George C.
