English Channel

The English Channel is one of the world's most extraordinary waterways. For centuries the Channel has been Britain's defense against invaders. It has also been the way to the continent, a highway crowded with ships.

Sailors know it as perhaps the most dangerous sea channel in Europe. Half of all the world's ship collisions take place between the western end of the Channel and the Baltic.

Several armies have crossed the Channel, but none have crossed for over nine centuries, although some have tried more recently.

Over the years, people have crossed it by balloon, canoe, rowing-boat, parachute, water-skis, and swim­ming! The British seem to enjoy¹ using unconventional methods of conquering the Channel, using everything from a car to a bed.

The Channel stretches 350 miles, from the Atlantic Ocean to the North Sea, separating England's south coast from France's north coast. At its widest point it mea­sures 120 miles; at its narrowest, only 21 miles. On a clear day, you can see the white cliffs of Dover from the French coast.
