generik said:I'll get in on the research aspect of this, if everyone doesn't mind. I live down stream from Danville. Also, I enjoy kyaking, so a little island hoping isn't a problem.
The problem I do have is: I don't think the river level has changed enough to allow a large ship up river that far. Even in Shamokin Dam they had to dam the river for the farries to operate.
old man said:Jeff, nice research. The only problem that I see with the story is that Capt Kidd navigated up the river from the Chesapeake Bay. There is no way that could have happened in a ship. I know the area and the river is too shallow. You might make it in a row boat.
DFX DAVE in M.D. said:I am sure The Susquehanna river is quite different now then it was then. When they built The Conowingo Dam here in Maryland in the 1920's the old town of Conowingo was flooded and lost. We have a Blackbeard buried treasure tale in nearby Delaware. The pirate buried treasure tails make wonder, lol.
