Corrected entry: In both instances where William crossed the English Channel, it was on a chain ferry. It is highly unlikely that any individual, or even a group of individuals could afford the 20-odd miles of chain it would require. To top it off, when they return to England, their landfall is made at London, which would require yet another 20-odd miles of chain to take them up the Thames.

Correction: They never say that it's the channel they're crossing on the ferry. And since you already pointed out that the Thames runs up to London, it is much much more likely that the ferry is simply crossing the Thames.

But was it really 10 years between when Will's dad crossed the Thames? And why would the transporter think to ask? The River has many bridges that crossed it at the time. You can wave to people across it. Is that long of a time reasonable?
