Cheap in freight charges, economical in fuel consumption, they played a great part during the war in saving lives and ships when power-driven barges carried vital war supplies quickly and safely. Here is river traffic on a canal near Watford, Hertfordshire. English canals—though often looked upon as the "Cinderellas" of transport —still have considerable potentialities for the service of industry.
