Canal boats were invented by engineers who also built railroad for the canal boats to travel on. Canal boats at and up side and a down side and they rode piggyback on railroad flatcars. Canal boats had 3 sections, a kitchen and different bedrooms. People that rode canal boats usually ate around 6:00 pm and meals cost between 25-37 cents. Mules or Horses usually pulled canal boats. A man at the back of the boat guided it with a stick-like rudder. In good weather passengers could sit on top of the house, but they had to watch out for low-laying bridges. Unfortunatly steam engines were built providing faster and cheaper ways of transportation and the canal boats were outdated. After all that work building the aqueducts (special water bridges built fro canals) and locks (raised or lowered canal boats by raising or lowering the canal water.
