I’ve been told this was done mainly to steer the boat away from the side of the tunnels while the people in the rear used a pole to actually propel it. I’d love to know if this is true or not, there’s precious few resources about the subject.
The logic of it being for propulsion falls apart one they leave the tunnel and no longer have anything to push on.
Canal boats were traditionally towed by horses alongside on the tow path, but the paths don’t go through tunnels so it’s feasible that this was what they did to get through
