Canal basin

Okay kiddo, imagine a big swimming pool that boats can go in and out of. At the end of the swimming pool, there is a big doorway for boats to go through. And once they go through that doorway, they are in a special area called a canal basin. It's like a parking spot for boats! This is where they can rest and wait for their next adventure down the waterway. Sometimes the canal basin can have shops or restaurants nearby for the boat people to visit too! So, canal basins are like a special spot for boats to rest before they continue on their journey.
