Unfortunately for the sailors back in the day, the horses couldn’t pull them through tunnels, which left them in a bit of a predicament. How could they get their boat through the tunnel if they weren’t being pulled?
The term “legger” was used for the men who used their feet to push the boat through the tunnel so they could get to the horses waiting on the other side.
