MODERATORS
If they're only a couple meters wide, how the heck are they supposed to fit watercraft?
The barges were just a little less than a few meters wide. The manpower to build a 100km long canal that is 2.5-3 meters wide is substantially less than what it takes to dig one 8 meters wide in the era before steam shovels.
