Yes. This song is correctly titled, "The Bullhead Boat". Perhaps some kind Mudelf could change the title in the DT and on the heading for this thread?

I learned this song from Art Thieme. In a thread on canal songs he noted that he collected it from Lyman King of Fulton New York. There is very little information on the Bullhead canal boat. What little I could find came from an article entitled, "Phase 1b Underwater archaeological report of the Onondaga lake bottom." This says;

Bullhead Canal Boats (1819 to 1915)
One of the most expensive boats to build, the bullhead canal boat was used for cargoes of flour, grain, and other products requiring an absolutely dry cargo hold. Similar to packet and line boats, these also had full length deckhouses, though even fewer windows. The cargo was loaded through wide doors in the side of the house (as in a line boat). Bullhead boats were strongly built because of their heavy cargos and had holds well lined to prevent damage to the cargo from moisture. That makes sense of the line about a load of Star Brand Salt.

Apart from that, it's a great song to sing!

Hope that helps.

PS Change the title!
