Anyone else love canals? I grew up close to a stretch of the Chesapeake & Ohio canal, and used to play along it all the time.
I'll dump some nice canal pics too

Man, I live old canals. God Damn engineering marvels built when the most we had was dynamite and steam shovels. There are some canal boats you can rent on the Erie, and I've always wanted to kayak or bike down the C&O

I work on the water, and I often fantasize about "the old days", having a little steamer bulk barge, poking my way across the Erie or the Morris canal, cutting right across the land. The OP image looks so damn comfy.

Terminus of the old Delaware and Raritan canal in New Brunswick, NJ.

I wish this thing was still around, it connected New York harbor to Philadelphia. Would save a lot of time and hardship going through a canal rather than sailing all the way down around Cape May and back up

Morris Canal, in NJ, mainly transported barges of coal from Pennsylvania to NYC. Had the highest change of elevation, going west a barge would rise 914 feet, then descend 715 feet. That's crazy! The Panama canal has a change of height of 90 feet! Granted, the Morris handled smaller stuff, but still. It used inclines to change the height of barges, pictured, and they were all powered by water turbines. How freaking cool?!

Florida here, there's a shitload of canals here connecting our near-infinite lakes and rivers, but they're mostly glorified dirt ditches filled with water.
