Includes numbers 1231 to 1234, 1211 and 1236. Signed by President Charles Barnitz president and James Voglison(?) treasurer. The Codorus Navigation Company, based in York in south-central Pennsylvania, was formed in 1829 to make a navigable waterway along Codorus Creek from York, Pennsylvania to the Susquehanna River, a distance of 11 miles. Plans called for 3 miles of canal, 8 miles of slack-water pools, 10 dams, and 13 locks with an average lift of about 7 feet. Plans originally included a second canal from the mouth of Codorus Creek along the Susquehanna to calm water above Chestnut Ripples. This would have made entrance into the Codorus system easier for craft coming down the river, but the extension canal, though started, was never finished.
