Britain and the rest of the world.
The canal barge and coaster remain a very viable form of transport across the world today, from the River Rhine in Germany to the many rivers of China.
These flat bottomed vessels can move from rivers to man made canals to the sea with ease. Today's shipping is far flung from the early days of invention and development in England, UK.
The UK retains the long barge now almost soley for pleasure and living use. But some river barge industries remain in the river Thames.
