The new canal boat will be mule drawn with passenger seating for approximately 90 people. The boat will used for living history demonstrations in the watered sections of the C & O Canal. These demonstrations including taking the canal boat through a stone lock which exposes the exterior of the boat to impacts during the lock-through operation. C & O Canal has two canal boats one operation and one non-operational. The operational boat is used at the park's Georgetown Visitor Center. It is wood and fiberglass construction. The non-operational boat is a 30 year old, ferro-cement vessel that was used for interpretive boat rides at the Great Falls Visitor Center until last spring. In addition to replacing the ferro-cement boat, the C & O Canal will be seeking funding for at least one more additional boat for the Cumberland Visitor Center when the re-watering of that section of the canal is complete.
