U S canal boats, 1921 (Coal from Cumberland)

U. S. CANAL BOATS ARE MOVING

Understood That Coal for Indian Head Will Go Forward Immediately.

A number of the U. S. Canal boats stationed at various points along the C. & O. Canal began moving toward Cumberland yesterday indicating that coal for the government at Indian Head, Md., would begin moving immediately.

The US boats are the same ones used during the war by the canal for hauling coal to Indian Head and had not been ordered out when the Towage Co. boats were ordered to load several weeks ago.
