If you don't know - go back to the census entry and look at the page prior to that which carries the personal details. You'll find on the schedule details of the home port, size and type of vessel, what trade it was on or use to which the vessel was put. (If you get totally stuck finding it, give us the details of your chap and I'll see if I can locate it for you).

Your chap appears on RG12/2635 f142 p1.
Looking at the previous page; it records that Express was
Port or place to which she belongs: Lincoln
Tonnage: 90 tons
Description: Sailing (Barge)
How employed: General Cargo
Master: Storey, Joseph
Position at Midnight on 5th April 1891: Off Gainsbro in River Trent
The schedule was delivered to Torksey Lock - which is where the Trent joins the canal to Lincoln
The vessel had no official number and would seem to have been used on the Trent and the canal up to Lincoln.
