canal barge
Narrow boat transport
A canal barge is a flat-bottomed boat designed for navigating canals and other narrow waterways.
These vessels sit low in the water and are built long and slim to fit through locks and tight passages.
In Britain, canal barges—often called narrowboats—have become popular as houseboats and leisure craft: They spent their holiday on a canal barge in the Cotswolds.
