One of the ‘model railroad tropes’ that bugs me the most is the “large ocean going ship stuffed up impossibly narrow channel, often with non opening bridge span between ship and open water and impossibly tight bend in the channel” scene. Your waterfront looks fine to me.

I get your point, but Manitowoc Shipbuilding would like a word…

I came across this sometime back, the Marine Angel being towed through Chicago to gain entry to the Great Lakes in 1953.  There are lots of interesting pics if you google it.  One article states there was only 7” of clearance at one point.

DO NOT EAT THE ED SLAW

But how else will I satisfy my cravings for improbable yet prototypical anachronisms.
