High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! George Washington Whistler (Fort Wayne, Indiana, May 19, 1800 April 7, 1849 in Saint Petersburg, Russia) was a prominent American railroad engineer in the first half of the 19th century. George was born at the military outpost of Fort Wayne which his father, John Whistler, had helped build. His mother was Anna Bishop, daughter of Sir Edward Bishop of Great Britain. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York in 1819 and served as a Civil Engineer in the United States Army Corps of Engineers and retired as a Major in 1833. In 1834 he became Chief Engineer at the Proprietors of Locks and Canals in the new city of Lowell, Massachusetts. During his time in Lowell, he was responsible for early American locomotive designs, and his sons, James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834 1903) and William McNeill Whistler (1836 - 1900) were born. He left Lowell in 1837 and was followed by his apprentice, James B Francis. He landed a job with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which sent him to England to learn more about railroad technology.
