What goods exactly? Doesn’t matter, just chuck it on there.

If the villages downstream don’t like it, they can always bring goods back up. But guess what’s going on the next barge?

    I dunno why they keep bringing it back when they can just send it on down the river like us but who are we to try and understand the psychology of the downstreamers.

      “How is it conducive to trade to just send us the same stuff all the time?”

      Hah, they think we’re trading like this is some kids’ game. We’re not trading, we’re bargemaxxing

    Water transport is an extremely efficient way to move large quantities of stuff long distance! Consult the infographic:

    an infographic explaining that a freighter ship with a capacity of 70,000 tons has the same capacity as 584 train cars carrying 120 tons each and 3044 trucks carrying 34 tons each

    It takes less fuel, less material to make the vessel, and fewer people to move the same tonnage of material. Plus, its a boat and boats are great!
