" Suppose each boat on an average contained
33 soldiers, with all their requisites and naviga
tors. Each of those boats must occupy a length
of between 16 and 20 feet at least, and breadth
of between 20 and 25 feet at least, for, as they
are boats impelled by oars, there is the breadth
of the boat, and the extent of the oars beyond
the sides. There mud likewise be a certain space
allowed for the working of these boats which
must be a head, and along fide of each other,
ghat they may keep clear. I shall suppose, there
fore, under all these confederations, that for. 3
boats, which convay 100 men only, the space of
100 feet square may be computed necessary, on
the average ; which is but a reafopable fpace'
tonfequently, the boats to transport
square miles,
§0,060 men, will occupy about 11£
70,000 men, 131
{oo,ooo men, 19|
Therefore, the whole sea, from Calais to Do
\er would be covered by them, except 2 miles in
'length, and an equal space in breadth.
