South London . breadth of the largest vessel in the fleet, and istherefore the smallest radius possible for getting the shipsthrough. Now, the ship of Gokstad, already described, wasundoubtedly one of the finest of the vessels used by Danesand Normans. The poets certamly speak of larger ships, EARLY HISTORY 41 but as a marvel. Nothing is said about Cnut bringing overships of very great size. Now, that vessel was 66 feet inlength, considering the keel, which is all we need consider;165 feet in breadth, and 4 feet in depth. She drew verylittle water ; therefore a breadth of canal less than the breadthof the vessel was enough. Let us make the chord 70 feet inlength, so that b = 2,S- Let us make the breadth of the canal12 feet. Therefore 2^ = 12 or ^ = 6 and r= 105 feet very , therefore, 105 feet on either side of LondonBridge, we arrive at a possible commencement of Cnutswork. That is to say, if he made a semicircular canal, inthat case the length of the canal would be 320 yards, which.
