minus-squareWalleyeWarrior@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up15·4 hours agoNot really. Most of these old canals were only a couple yards/meters wide and dried up 100 years ago.

minus-squareWalleyeWarrior@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 hours agoThe barges were just a little less than a few meters wide. The manpower to build a 100km long canal that is 2.5-3 meters wide is substantially less than what it takes to dig one 8 meters wide in the era before steam shovels.
