Good Heights found at Fuller Warren Bridge, St. Johns River, Jacksonville, FL
SSECN’s Bridge Directory lists the charted vertical clearance at mean high water. During periods of wider tidal range and higher winds the actual height of the water can vary, as Captain Chuck relates below. The prudent tall-masted cruiser will keep an eye on tides and winds, to say nothing of the clearance boards.
This information is wrong, there is more space if you are careful. December 3 2013 I ran 73′ under it, with about 12’³ to spare. This was 1 hour before mean high tide. HOWEVER, this will also hit the range lights in the middle, so be sure to go to one side or the other of them.
