First time I've ever seen a sailing barge! The kind I'm used to seeing
are large, flat-bottomed floating cargo carriers either towed or pushed
with a tugboat.

Thats the new time Hemi, in the early years there were no tugs nor motors on
the ship, all was done by sail and in canals some had a horse to pull the
ship and the poor guys had to pull themselves.
Here a picture I scanned from a newspaper.
A horse pulling the ship home in the river thats behind my place.
