== == == == Most large mass-market vessels (Carnival, Royal Carribbean, etc) have top speeds around 21-24 knots. Smaller vessels and boats designed for long distances can go a few knots faster (the Queen Mary 2, for instance, can do 29 knots which is highly unusual for a large cruise ship).
This does not mean they always operate at full speed-- generally they will go as fast as necessary to get where they are going on a given day, so on a short hop between nearby ports, they may go much slower. Figure 14-20 knots is a pretty typical range for most cruises.
A Knot roughly equals 1.15 MPH. So that gives us 16-24 mph. Again, this is just the ballpark. The reason for the low speed is the rapidly increasing resistance of water against the submerged hull. Ships designed specifically for high speed (warships generally) will also result in a bouncier ride, which isn't something most cruisers are interested in.
Depends how big the canal and ship are.
It depends on whether you are talking about regular cargo ships or warships which under sail were called "men o war". Cargo ships do not have holes in the sides but the war ships had holes, above the water line, for them to poke the cannons through. Hence you could say the "men o war" had holes in the side but not cargo or passenger ships.

American cargo vessels at the time, known as "Yankee Cllippers", were quite fast.
Cargo ships move about 95% of all goods around the world
there is more cargo than there is oil, or other liquids container ships use.

yes the three ships sail away (the Nina.the Pinta,and the Santa Maria
The term is actually 'cargo hold' and is used for ships and aircraft for holding cargo, typically below decks. Cargo ships, however, generally carry all cargo in huge steel containers above deck and passenger ships' cargo is people, which are appointed cabins throughout the vessel.
