A barge is a simple looking boat with a flat surface and long structure. Barges usually transport goods to different places.
In Great Britain, during the Industrial Revolution, a substantial network of narrow barges was developed from 1750 onwards.
From 1825 there was competition from the railways. Eventually the British rail system took over from canal traffic due to the higher speed, falling costs and route flexibility of rail transport.
