High water levels can be a problem anywhere. Here (TV) it is due to fixed docks being under water. On the Mississippi River high water can block many ships from going under bridges. I know the Delta Queen has an "elevator" pilot house and swivel smoke stacks for those types of problems and still that boat got "trapped" due to high water and a low bridge. NOT literally trapped under a bridge but trapped on one side of the bridge and could not proceed on its cruise due to high water levels and the low bridge.
