Georgetown Keel Boats

I have updated the page Georgetown Keel Boats including Certificate of Enrollment info from my trip to the National Archives on 2 Aug 2012.  An impressive number of the boats build between 1846-1850 were built in Georgetown, PA along Nash Run.  Registration was required for all vessels with a capacity rating of more than twenty tons.  The capacity of these vessels ranged from 20 50/95 to 43 65/95 tons.
