 New Georgia Encyclopedia: Canals
As the momentum behind canal construction slowly grew, Savannah citizens requested that the state legislature hire an engineer to survey a canal route from the Savannah River west to the Ogeechee River and to report on the feasibility of canal construction across the route.
Boosters argued that Brunswick's port was superior to Savannah's; that their canal was more efficient, because it took advantage of the confluence of two major interior rivers, the Oconee and the Ocmulgee, that formed the Altamaha; and that their canal route was shorter and therefore cheaper and more efficient.
Thomas Butler King's project finally received a charter and the authority to begin operations in late 1826, but without support from the state the project never received adequate financing and was plagued by labor troubles.
