Nothing at all to do with canals in Ransome's books - closest he got was rivers, and that was the Broads.

 

BUT - great stories none the less, I could devour one his stories in a day when I was a kid.

I could be wrong, but this actor played young Tom Sawyer. Maybe this is his first role in a dramatic role. I recently re-read this story, but I have not found evidence of the existence of this motion picture

I remember a book before-we-were-free about children who went to school by boat. Maybe this writer was the screenwriter for the film. I don't remember the plot, but maybe it will be useful to you.

I know of several marinas for medium sized boats, but they are not generally accessible.
