520    The story of the narrowboats' transition from workhorses 
       of industry to today's leisure craft Bright and colorful, 
       slow and easy, narrowboats are seen today as the epitome 
       of a peaceful life and a wonderful way to get away from 
       the stresses of modern living. Although true, this is a 
       far cry from their origins as the workhorses of the early 
       days of industrial revolution, without which Britain may 
       never have developed as far and fast as it did. Packed 
       with little-known snippets of information, this 
       entertaining and informative guide retraces the story of 
       how narrowboats have evolved, how their very existence was
       once challenged, and how they have risen phoenix-like into
       the relaxing craft of today.
