Narrow canal boating is a particular type of canal boat, built to fit the narrow locks of the United Kingdom. The UK's canal system provided a nationwide transport network during the Industrial Revolution, but with the advent of the railways, commercial canal traffic gradually diminished by 1970. Then onwards narrowboats were gradually being converted into permanent residences which are used for holidays, weekend breaks, touring, or as permanent or part-time residences. United Kingdom.
