The wooden stakes with white rope in front of you, show the size of a D & H Canal Co. boat after 1850, when they were eighty-nine feet long and fourteen and a half feet wide.
At the stern (back end) was a small cabin which was about twelve by fourteen feet. Note the rope at the bow (front end) is tied, so the "boat" is snubbed to one of the three snubbing posts in this park. Try to find the other two along the east side of the canal bank. They are equally spaced, at a distant a bit longer than the boat. So, three boats could be snubbed here when the nearby lock was not operating.
Plans and fund raising are under way to build a canal "boat" pavilion this size, at this location.
