"hard and unrealistic work hauling not one stone but many 240 miles"

Maybe not 240 but 3 in total (and the rest by water)?

Hauling 4 tonners 3 miles doesn't sound unrealistic compared with 40 tonners 20 miles!

I'll go with the 3 miles overland no problem but the water travel experiments don't seem to have always gone too well over the years have they?
