Until the late 18th century, it was believed larger barges couldn't navigate the Ruhr River, but the desire to transport coal led to attempts starting in the industrial revolution. The first coal barges reached Kettwig in 1770, eventually reaching Ruhrort, although navigability was hindered by dams, leading to coal quality issues. The construction of 14 locks improved transport, making the Ruhr a key coal route until the arrival of the railway in the late 19th century. In the game "Ruhrschifffahrt 1769-1890," players manage coal transport along the river, with their position dictating action order.
