Wikipedia Overview
Chain boat navigation on the Neckar was a special type of tugboat navigation in which chain steamers with several towed barges pulled along a chain laid in the river. It was used from 1878 between Mannheim and Heilbronn and from 1884 as far as Lauffen. Chain shipping considerably reduced the transport costs for skippers compared to the hitherto customary towage by horse, and made ship transport competitive with the railway once again. The progressive canalisation of the Neckar and the barrages required for this made chain towing more difficult and uneconomical. It was increasingly replaced by tugs with propellers, and was discontinued in 1935 with the complete expansion of the Neckar.
