This was discovered by a 40+ sailboat earlier today. Unfortunately, the boat in question made this discovery underway instead of during his route planning and will be proceeding to the Chesapeake under power. Fortunately no one was injured when the stick came down.
Here's the chart snippet. Clearance on the bridge at left is clearly marked at 45'.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
