Coal-laden canal boats taking on their cargo at Delaware Water Gap place this scene along one of the working waterways that carried Pennsylvania anthracite to market in the nineteenth century. Canals like these were the arteries of the coal trade before railroads took over much of the work, and the loading points along them were busy, noisy places where mules, chutes, and crews moved tons of fuel onto barges. The Delaware Water Gap sits where the river cuts through the Kittatinny Ridge, so the setting also shows how the landscape and the transport routes shaped one another.
