Thimble Shoals Shipwatching
- Vantage
- The Thimble Shoals area at the mouth of Hampton Roads, well downstream from downtown Norfolk.
- What it shows
- Oceangoing traffic using the approach between Hampton Roads and the Chesapeake Bay.
This is a remote approach camera, not a Half Moone terminal camera. A Norfolk cruise ship has to use this water on an ocean sailing, but it reaches the view well before arrival or after leaving downtown.
