Case1096 Posted September 19, 2014 #27 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I just saw the article on Cruise Critic news regarding the Bayonne Bridge being raised to accommodate for the Quantum. Is the Quantum not going to sail under the Verrazanno? Is it going to travel via the Arthur Kill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmy Posted September 19, 2014 #28 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I just saw the article on Cruise Critic news regarding the Bayonne Bridge being raised to accommodate for the Quantum. Is the Quantum not going to sail under the Verrazanno? Is it going to travel via the Arthur Kill? On the recent technology reveal Richard Fain stated that the smoke stacks would be lowered to fit under the Verrazano Narrows bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that as well. Very confused. Perhaps Cruise Critic made a mistake in referencing why the Bayonne Bridge was being raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the golden gate. Makes me wonder if one of the ships is coming to San Francisco. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEIx15x8 Posted September 19, 2014 #32 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I just saw the article on Cruise Critic news regarding the Bayonne Bridge being raised to accommodate for the Quantum. Is the Quantum not going to sail under the Verrazanno? Is it going to travel via the Arthur Kill? The Bayonne Bridge was raised to allow for larger cargo ships to enter the area since many yards up to this point have been unacceptable. No passenger vessels would have a reason to pass under it at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubanurse Posted September 20, 2014 #35 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I just saw the article on Cruise Critic news regarding the Bayonne Bridge being raised to accommodate for the Quantum. Is the Quantum not going to sail under the Verrazanno? Is it going to travel via the Arthur Kill? The port's location does not necessitate the ship going under the Bayonne Bridge, which will not even be close to being finished by the time she sails in. I have no idea what they are thinking with that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted September 20, 2014 #36 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) The Arthur Kill is a tidal strait separating Staten Island, New York City from mainland New Jersey, USA, and a major navigational channel of the Port of New York and New Jersey. Arthur Kill has also been known as Staten Island Sound. The channel is dredged periodically to a depth of 35–37 feet (11 m) and a width of 600 feet (183 m) to maintain its usefulness for commercial ship passage. It is spanned by the Goethals Bridge and the Outerbridge Crossing, as well as by the Arthur Kill Vertical Lift Bridge, a railroad bridge and the largest bridge of its type in the United States. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Kill The QofS is 136 feet (41 meters) wide with a draft of 28 feet (8.5 meters).
