		Experience and a greater understanding of hydrodynamics gradually led to a distinct class of motor boat, but their derivation is still obvious whilst the comparisons can be made to a representative number of their earlier horse-drawn cousins.

	Traditional Boats & Barges - horse drawn boats
		Every boat horse needed a stall in a stable at each end of every day’s journey, for a hot tired horse cannot be put out in a cold field for the night, so every regular stopping place, whether warehouse, wharf or canalside pub had to be equipped with stabling.
		Some horses would work by themselves without a driver, would ‘backer’ as the boating expression put it, but it was a risky business and someone had to be ready to leap ashore anytime they met another horse boat coming the other way.
		A boat horse could wear out a set of shoes in four to six weeks so an army of blacksmiths had to be on hand as well to keep the industry running.

	By horse-drawn boat around the South Pennine Ring (1)
		In 2001, the society made history when the horse-drawn boat "Maria" became the first boat to make the complete passage along the restored Huddersfield Narrow Canal.
		The boat chosen for the journey was "Elland", a 60 foot long riveted wrought iron narrowboat, this being the maximum length for a narrowboat travelling around the ring.
		The boat needed to be moved through Sellers and Bates Tunnels, and the stretch in between which is not accessible from outside, with the aid of poles, which can be a slow process.
