From the Wikipedia article
Navvy, a clipping of navigator (UK) or navigational engineer (US), mainly refers to the manual labourers working on major civil engineering projects, though it is also used in North America to refer to mechanical shovels and earth moving machinery. The term was coined in the late 18th century in Great Britain when numerous canals were being built, which were also sometimes known as "navigations".
