What is the best time to watch ship arrivals?

What to Watch Today
- Bridge lifts & horn salutes: listen for the three-long, two-short Ambassador Salute when ships greet the bridge.
- Ship IDs: look for hull color, self-unloader booms, and crane count to tell Lakers from salties.
- Wind & waves: easterlies kick up waves at the canal — dramatic entries & spray.
@HNF the lift bridge cam has been down for a while, can you put it back here
I asked awhile ago and no reply. I miss it.
maybe they will notice this time, I think @HNF was gone for a while and noticed today looks like they’re back
