    Tips

    The boats or barges are flat-bottomed, very wide. The largest, the cagnone, measure 23.5 meters by 4.75 and have a capacity of 40 tons; the mezzane or Ossola boats, around 20 meters long with a load of 30 tons and gradually borcelli and boats (used to get the horses back down) and smaller boats used for local traffic. No hull could fish more than 75 centimeters fully loaded, it was forbidden to sail at night and overtaking between moving boats was absolutely forbidden. The crews for dog and mizzen were at least four men: on the river, the most experienced man, the guide, steered the rudder, along the canal were the naval workers and in the city the owner of the ditch. The descent from Tornavento to the dock lasted about seven / nine hours
