3 Mr. Pitt's river crossing
4 Soup base harbour
5 Feed the fire
6 A grand old Duke
7 Water tub
8 Boat's passengers
9 The girl's rock
10 Ship's frame
11 Noah's latest Vessell

15 Sprint with the maize
16 1066 battle location

Sounds good, but not 100% on this one. I was trying to think of famous Pauls, wasn't Paul McCartney in a band called Wings, this might be the link to feathers. Not sure where hometown of Wings may be though, any Wings fans out there?

For "Next to the comic with an h" i've exhausted everything i can think of, from looking at what's next to comic in the dictionary to searching through comedians and comic book names, i can't even be sure i'm even reading the question how it was intended! Grrrrr :)
