Burgess swam from St Margaret's Bay near Dover to Le Chatelet, east of Cap Gris Nez. It took him 22 hours and 30 minutes. He was heavily bearded, standing over 6ft. tall and weighed 15 stones.

Burgess lived in a flat just outside Paris above a garage he ran with his French wife and their Alsatian dog “Bob”. The garage was an ailing business.

He bought a large wooden house in Cape Griz-Nez with the money he had earnt from his channel swim. Outside hung a sign “The Villa of Cross-Channel Swimming”. He had planned to build a golf course but it never happened.

Burgess had been making attempts year-by-year since 1904. His unsuccessful attempt in 1908 stood as a record of Channel endurance for more than 20 years. He received the congratulations of the King and the recognition of the entire country
