Samuel Slater Canal Boat

The Samuel Slater, a forty-foot canal boat, is the only one of its kind in nearby American waters. The boat is a reminder of the two decades (from 1828 – 1848), when canal boats were a common sight on the nearby Blackstone Canal. Built in Cambridgeshire, England, this authentic British canal boat can host up to four people for a unique overnight experience. Complete with cozy wood features all around you, the Slater has all that you’ll need for that special getaway! The Samuel Slater hosts a bedroom with full-size bed and closet, kitchen with stove-top, oven, sink, and refrigerator, bathroom with hot shower, complimentary tea and coffee for guests, and an option to purchase a cruise on the beautiful Blackstone River.
