That is correct, but Brooklyn is part of NY, and QM2 also needs to go under the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OA class is ~225,000+ gross tons, 236' from the waterline plus 31' draught for a total of 267' (keel to top of funnel) The bridge clearance (from the waterline ) is 215ft. Definitely no myth OA can't go there. Twangster, Makes sense, thanks for the detailed explanation. It's always difficult to find data on the height of ships, everyone seems to only care about interior volume. I totally missed that the two height measurements on wikipedia were not equivalent. I wonder how tall Anthem is. I guess it doesn't really matter, as she does fit under the bridge. And when you are going under the bridge, it always seems like you will barely make it -- even if you are on a smaller ship like Celebrity Summit... -karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
