A barge is a flat-bottomed boat , built mainly for river and canal transport of heavy goods. Some barges are not self-propelled and need to be towed or pushed by towboats . Canal barges, 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 .
Barge is attested from 1300, from Old French barge , from Vulgar Latin barga . The word originally could refer to any small boat; the modern meaning arose around 1480. Bark "small ship" is attested from 1420, from Old French barque , from Vulgar Latin barca (400 AD). The more precise meaning "three-masted ship" arose in the 17th century, and often takes the French spelling for disambiguation. Both are probably derived from the Latin barica , from Greek baris "Egyptian boat", from Coptic bari "small boat", h
and similar ba-y-r for "basket-shaped boat". By extension, the term "embark" literally means to board the kind of boat called a "barque".
