Massive Cruise ship approaches the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver, British Columbia #148095678
Description
In April, 2019, a new safety requirement was put in place by local port authorities and marine pilots in Vancouver, British Columbia. which limits when very large ships can sail under the Lions Gate Bridge. A recent voyage of the Royal Caribbean Ovation of the Seas cruise ship is the largest cruise ship to have ever navigated under this bridge. Due to the tide and the need for very still waters, the ship only had a 35-minute window to sail under the bridge when there is no current. Nautical scientists worked on formulas to make sure we arrive at the perfect moment to clear the bridge.Onlookers on the bridge and on shire waved and cheered as the massive ship approached the bridge
