The low level of the Potomac River has affected the Canal Boat in Georgetown. Tours were cancelled Aug. 30 through Sept. 1, and a banner was posted on its website saying, “We are experiencing historically low water levels on the Potomac, which has temporarily made it impossible for us to operate the Canal boat. We will continue to assess the situation and resume tours as water levels return to a normal level. Thank you for understanding!” The Georgetowner (Washington, D.C.), Sept 5, 2023
