In _AoT_ , they used boats in canals to get the bulk of women and children
from Shiganshina to Trost. So why didn't the Survey Corps just use boats to
get between those two districts, instead of riding out and risking death?

From what I can see from googling it, there are canals that run from the outer
walls all the way to the inner-most walls from all four port towns.

attack-on-titan
Why didn't they use the boats to go back to Shiganshina?


The gates that protect the river from the titans don't move up. So in order to
get a boat over the wall, they would have to bring all that wood and other
building material over/through the gate, then proceed to build the boat while
defending it from the titans.

It's easier just to take horses, and once they got past a certain point they
wouldn't be able to progress any further due to a blockage in the river that
they didn't know about. If one or more titans got into the river it would be
an issue because they would only be able to turn back. Can you imagine this
happening if some titans were behind the boat?

Also, from what we have seen, there are hardly any anchor points next to the
river. Meanwhile, on horses, they can easily ride around to the back grapple,
attack, and one dead titan for table 6.
