A Tight Squeeze ~ 17Mar18

Post by Pen Pusher » Sun Mar 18, 2018 8:46 am

What happens when you try to take a tall boat through a low bridge arch, Blackfriars Bridge in this case, at high tide?. We, there was a small crowd, waited for the crunch, but the Captain stopped reversed out and went through the next arch down.

Wife and I watching a very superior motor cruiser on the Thames some years ago in Eton, Berks. [Where I was once a Police Officer in another life!] Realised he wasn't going to make it under the bridge [river very high] aborted too late, drifted backwards into the bridge, collapsing most of it's superstructure!!. Insurance is a wonderful thing [if he had it!!]
