Hi. The Ohio Historical Society site, the Johnston Farm and Indian Agency located in Piqua, Ohio, has working canal boat that visitors can ride while on a tour. Here's a link to their website http://www.johnstonfarmohio.com/general_harrison_canal_boat They might be able to answer some of your questions. Good Luck!
