The Charles F. Mercer is the most recent packet boat to make its way up and down the canal. Built with funds raised by private organizations and actually started by a group of third graders, it has been plying these waters now for 5 years.
Watching the volunteers and Park Service employees work this boat through the locks and up the canal gives one a strong appreciation for how the folks 150 years ago used to survive.
