We enjoyed a Homeschool day learning about how the canal was built and dug by hand! It took 9 years to dig from portsmouth to Cleveland. It was 4ft deep and 44ft wide! We learned about how the locks were incorporated into the canal design/build and which boat had the right away, and how that was determined. We learned how the canal boat moved up and down the canal, with no current. The cost for the trip, and what kind of things were transported. Very fun and very educational 🥰 #HomeschoolMama #HomeschoolLife #HomeLearning #NotAtHome #RaisingWildflowers #HistoryAndCulture #TravelLearning #NewOldThings
