If you have ever been on the Delaware River, you know there is no way anyone rowed a boat from shore to shore. A boat to cross the river would have to start out about five miles upstream because the river currents are so fast and powerful. A boat crossing at 90 degrees to the current would tip over right away. Washington may have crossed the Delaware but it wasn't at the place called "Washington's Crossing". It's a fast moving current, rolling like a big blender.

The Delaware River at the point is tidal and the water would be flat calm at high or low tide.

No. It is not by much of a measure. I have swam across just to vet the claim. You had better be an accomplished swimmer, and then have cab fare in your pocket for the cab ride back from Camden.

I was born, raised, and grew up in the area.
