Channel Too Shallow??

I would not consider the Samuel Chase, the Liberty Ship in the WWII Assets Pack, a deep draft vessel but I have found that it has a fairly narrow corridor between France and England through which it can be placed without getting an error message saying that the water is too shallow and is not able to be placed in the Dunkerque harbor.

Seems about right. Wikipedia says the Samuel Chase has a draft of 8.1m, whereas Dunkerque harbour varies between 7m and 9m deep depending on tide. See http://www.worldportsource.com/ports/portCall/FRA_Port_of_Dunkerque_385.php

If you squint at this low-res chart extract the waters around Dunkerque harbour are very shallow in places. wp0ea66fe9_05_06.jpg
