Canal Boat


We saw several canal boats in England and Wales - usually from a distance. During our trip to Liverpool we saw one of them next to the bridge we were standing by. Phil, (our host), 'reckoned' this one is about 50' long. It's like a floating travel trailer - equipped with a couple of bedrooms, kitchen, full bath, and a sitting area.



The bridge pictured above was built in the 1800's, and is actually an aquaduct which transports canal boats across the River Dee near the Welsh town of Llangollen. I think the bridge is over 1000' long..
