To one who is both owner and captain of the boat the cost is less. The carrier's profit being 3 mills per ton per mile, the net earnings of a boat will be $1, 208 per year. 1 In 1854 the boats regularly engaged in transportation on the canal as freight carriers were as follows: 75 decked boats, 66 open boats, and 54 batteaux, making a total of 195 boats, which required for their operation 867 men and 423 horses. The estimated value of the decked boats, with their teams, was $1, 000 each; of the... open boats, with their teams, $500; and of the batteaux, $25; making an aggregate valuation of $IO9, 35O. 2 Passenger traffic on the canal was never extensive and even at its height was confined to six regular packet boats. There was a line of packet boats leaving Richmond ever other day for Buchanan; another line leaving Richmond every other day for Columbia, which was fifty-seven miles above Richmond at the mouth of the Rivanna river; and a third line leaving Richmond every other day for Scotts- ville.
