| 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 by the lighthouse on shore wave and cheer as the massive ship approaches the bridge. |
