Tidewater by Steamboat by David C Holly

Tidewater by Steamboat by David C Holly

The name "Weems", and the Weems line, symbolized nearly the entire epoch of the steamboat on the Chesapeake. The Weems line began in Baltimore in 1819, as steamboats first appeared on the Chesapeake and its rivers. It was sold to the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1905, at the height of the steamboat's "Golden Age", though its boats continued to serve the Bay until the 1930s. Illustrated with maps, drawings and photographs, this is a portrait of life on the Patuxent, the Potomac and the Rappahannock, where Weems boats sailed and the course of the American republic was set.

David C. Holly served as a naval officer in World War II and the Korean War before teaching government and foreign affairs at American University and Hampden-Sydney College. His published work includes Exodus 1947 and Steamboat on the Chesapeake.
