Fly boat "Dee" at Worsley
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Fly boat "Dee" at Worsley This preserved fly boat is typical of the wide-boats that were built for the Leeds-Liverpool canal and the adjacent canals, to take advantage of the wide (14 feet) but short (60 feet) locks. A fly boat was one that did its journey non-stop, often including through the night, replacing horses at regular intervals. They commanded a higher fee and were used for perishable and time important goods. Characterised by a low rear deck and low cabin. |
