About this book
Schuylkill Navigation Ledger and Scrapbook
Author: Philadelphia Water Department Historical Collection
Year: 1918
A scrapbook containing a ledger recoding the material received at one of the landings on the Schuylkill Navigation, from 1933-1941, compiled by Herbert Ritter; and a collection of newspaper clippings collected by Reuben Ritter, 1918-1924. The Schuylkill Navigation Company maintained a system of canals, locks, dams and slackwater pools that followed the Schuylkill River from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to coal country in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. The system, which was built in the second decade of the 19th century, is now defunct, but pieces of its infrastructure still exist. This scrapbook was given to PWD by Sandy Sorlien after the Port Clinton (Pa.) Transportation Museum shut down and dispersed its collection.
