What water transportation was pulled by horses?

A barge is a water transportation vessel that was once pulled by horses. Barges are typically flat-bottomed, shallow draft boats used for transporting goods. In the past, barges were often pulled by horses walking along the riverbank. This method of transportation was commonly used in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly on rivers and canals where the current was not strong. Horses would be harnessed to the barge and would pull it along a towpath. This form of transportation was eventually replaced by steam-powered boats and other forms of water transportation.
