Although the distance between the United Kingdom and continental Europe is less then 60 miles (+/-100 km), the English Channel has been a geological frontier for ages. The channel has been the key natural defence for Britain, but has also served in more peaceful times as a link joining shared cultures and political structures. It separates England from northern France, it’s a productive site for maritime archaeologists and it has thousands of shipwrecks.
A very nice way of crossing the Channel is taking the ferry. In contrast to taking the plane or train, as a traveller you get a totally different experience by entering your final destination in a car or van. As we have often taken the ferry to transport artwork between London and Breda, we know the route by heart and while resting on deck and enjoining the view there’s this warning always that reminds us of the fact that the furniture on deck may be affected by
SOOT FROM THE FUNNEL
It can settle everywhere and we take it back to where we came from. It can stain clothing and can possibly cause illness if inhaled. Breathing common urban air pollution (containing soot) is much deadlier than previously thought.
