Canal boats typically weigh between 20,000 to 40,000 pounds (9,000 to 18,000 kilograms), depending on their size and construction materials. Narrowboats, which are common in the UK, usually fall within this weight range, while wider beam boats may weigh more. The weight also varies based on the boat's design, cargo capacity, and whether it is equipped with additional features like living quarters.

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 Unfortunatly steam engines were built providing faster and cheaper ways of transportation and the canal boats were outdated.
