one to two nautical miles to come dead in the water from 10 knots would be excellent performance.
This ship wasn't going 10 knots though right? I'm assuming it was going extremely slowly as it had just pulled out and was still in the harbor?
Was the wind blowing it aggressively? The bridge span looked very wide compared to the ship 3-5 times the ships width, to the point that it should have never had an issue hitting the bridge unless it had been off course for quite some time? If it was off course for quite some time, there was likely a missed call by the pilot to abort leaving the harbor sooner?

I thought someone in this thread said 9 knots?

My understanding is these ships need to be at a curtain speed to steer properly?

IIRC it's speed was near 8-9 knots approaching the bridge. The wind was negligible at less than 1 knot. Lots of good info in this thread, scattered throughout.
I can't keep up.
