The fragile-looking craft was towed down the harbor past the Statue of Liberty, to be cut loose once it passed into the open sea.

Do they think ancient man would have had a TOW!!!?? Experiment over.

That’s amusing, but it’s not pertinent. After crosses the Atlantic, having to be towed (probably due to port rules), obviously it wouldn’t have had any problem with those few miles.
