This might be a bit outside of your area of expertise, but do we ever get any indication of how wide the Blackwater Rush is, near King’s Landing? I’ve long thought it was odd that the city’s harbor is in the river as it is depicted.

Given that Stannis’ fleet is able to sail up up the Rush twenty ships abreast, and that medieval galleys were at least 4.45 meters in width, the Rush is more than 89 meters wide.
