This series contains a certified copy of the register of canal boats kept by the auditor, who was required to keep a register of canal boats and changes in boat names or owners according to a law of 1827 (Chapter 219). The register gives the names of the boats; where they are from; the kind of boat tonnage; names of the owners and the date; and a certificate of registry, which was filed with collectors when the name of a boat was changed. There is also a one-page list of boats whose names were changed.
