Boat Load of Knowledge to New Harmony
Boat Load of Knowledge to New Harmony
In the winter of 1825-1826 Robert Owen and Robert McClure brought a large keel boat loaded with scientists, teachers, philosophers, writers and other learned people from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to New Harmony, Indiana. They traveled from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, down the Ohio river to the mouth of the Wabash river, and then up the Wabash to New Harmony. It was arguably the largest gathering of learned people to ever assemble on a single boat.
Philadelphia’s loss was New Harmony’s gain, and neither city has ever been the same, since.
Robert Owen called it the BOAT LOAD OF KNOWLEDGE.
