My videos are usually compressed into 3-5 minute lengths. Just how long does the average ship arrival really take? I figured I wanted to know as well.....I timed this video as they stopped traffic and lifted the bridge, until it lowered again and traffic resumed.

As for how much time I put into each vessel capture ? If anyone is interested I can do a "set up" video.
