	Barge Carrier Ships
		Barge ships are designed to carry specially designed barges (lighters) or a combination of such barges and containers.
		Since the barges are already in the water, flotation loading can be employed with a specially constructed ship that has a suitable hold and a gate through which the barge may be floated into the hold.
		In order to permit a greater number of barges to be carried proposals have been made to make the transport ship of double-deck form and enable it to be immersed to the draft required for docking barges onto the upper as well as the lower deck.

	Barge - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Most barges are non-self-propelled and need to be moved by tugboats towing them or towboats pushing them.
		Barges on canals (towed by draft animals on an adjacent towpath) contended with the railway in the early industrial revolution but were outcompeted in the carriage of high value items due to the higher speed, falling costs, and route flexibility of rail transport.
		Self propelled barges may be used as such when traveling downstream or upstream in placid waters and operated as an unpowered barge with the assistance of a tugboat when traveling upstream in faster waters.

	Thames Barge history
		Because of their unique rig barges could be sailed by in the case of a ‘small’ river barge, a man and a boy and even in the case of the larger barges by two men and a boy.
		Although the fleet had dwindled to 34 sailing barges 44 with auxillary engines and a further 82 trading as pure motor barges with their masts and sails removed by 1954 the survival of what was now the largest fleet of trading sailing vessels in Europe was a uniquely British phenomenon.
		The renaissance of sail at Maldon –a barge port for three centuries- is a phenomenon unmatched elsewhere in Europe because a fleet of craft remain sailing their traditional waters as they have done for centuries having swapped their cargoes of goods for cargoes of people.

		When it is in the middle of the lake the barge rocks and loses its cargo overboard, and the gravel sinks to the bottom of the lake.
		For the barge to float on the lake, it must displace a weight of water equal to its total weight, including the weight of any cargo it is carrying.

	Lightermen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They were one of the most characteristic groups of workers in London's docks during the heyday of the Port of London, but their trade was eventually rendered largely obsolete by changes in shipping technology.
		It also demanded a lot of muscle power, as the lighters were unpowered; they relied on the current for motive force and on long oars, or "sweeps", for steering.
		It allowed ships to be loaded and unloaded overside, using barges and lighters to transfer their goods to and from riverside wharves rather than dock quays, thus bypassing quay dues and dock warehouses.

	Lighter (barge) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A lighter is a type of flat-bottomed barge used to transfer goods to and from moored ships.
		Lighters were traditionally unpowered and were moved and steered using long oars called "sweeps", with their motive power provided by water currents.
		They were operated by highly skilled workers called lightermen and were a characteristic sight in London's docks until about the 1960s, when technological changes made lighters largely redundant.
