The Weems Steamboat Company of Baltimore City was founded in 1819 by Mr. George Weems, great uncle of Weems & Plath® founder Captain Philip Van Horn Weems. Soon Mr. Weems was sending boats several times a week between the Patuxent River and the Port of Baltimore making several stops along the way to well-known ports such as Annapolis. From George Weems’ first steamboat, Surprise, to the majestic side-wheelers, Wenonah and St. Mary’s, the Weems steamboats plied the waters until 1905. Provided with instructions, lifetime warranty, and a fresh battery as required.
