Narrowboat


 

A narrowboat is a boat or small barge used on narrow beam canals in Britain. Modern narrowboats are made about six feet ten inches (about 208 cm) wide. They are typically up to 72 feet (22 metres) long, although some locks are restricted to boats 60 feet (18 m) long and a few to only 40 feet (12 m).
