Depends how big the canal and ship are.
It depends on whether you are talking about regular cargo ships or warships which under sail were called "men o war". Cargo ships do not have holes in the sides but the war ships had holes, above the water line, for them to poke the cannons through. Hence you could say the "men o war" had holes in the side but not cargo or passenger ships.
Ships from inland ports can reach the ocean through interconnected waterways, such as rivers, canals, and locks. Once they reach the ocean, they can sail to ports around the world using established international shipping routes. Navigation technology and infrastructure make it possible for ships to travel long distances across oceans.
Barges sail on canals, which are artificial waterways designed for navigation. They can also operate on rivers and lakes, facilitating the transportation of goods. These vessels are typically flat-bottomed and suited for carrying heavy cargo through inland waterways.
