🔍 Key Concepts
• Relationship between the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel trestles and nearby named shoals
• How nautical charts label shoals, channels, and anchorages in the lower Chesapeake Bay
• Geographic position of Lynnhaven Roads, Tail of the Horseshoe, Chesapeake Shoal, and Middle Ground relative to the CBBT
💭 Think About
• On a chart, which named shoal actually lies under or is directly spanned by Trestle B, not just nearby?
• Which of the four names is clearly associated with the offshore shoal area near the bridge-tunnel, rather than an anchorage, bay, or roadstead?
• If you trace the CBBT from north to south on a chart, what feature name is printed where Trestle B crosses a shallow area?
✅ Before You Answer
• Verify on a current nautical chart (NOAA or ECS) exactly which shoal name is printed under or adjacent to Trestle B
• Confirm the difference between a shoal name and an area like Lynnhaven Roads (a roadstead/anchorage)
• Check that the feature you select is clearly labeled as a shoal and not a channel, roadstead, or generic area name
