Corps of Engineers Making Flood Tide Map of Waterfront
The Army Corps of Engineers began a map of Bristol Harbor waterlines to show past hurricane high tide lines and potential future water marks. Harbor master Samuel Wardwell and John B McAleer led the effort, aiming to aid zoning and protection planning and to compare 1938 and 1954 storms with possible three to six foot higher tides. Wardwell seeks exact past tide line locations to refine flood level estimates.
