Have you got a reference for this, making the link between the boundary
of the Realm and the MCA classification of an inland waterway?
What could be a consequence of this? Could you illustrate this with an
example?
The MCA definition of "inland waters" would draw a line across the
Thames at Gravesend and across the Dart at Battery Point. These lines
don't correspond to any admin boundaries I am aware of.
