In 1915, for example, more than 100,000 vessels passed through.

Yet, later on, I knew a whole month go by without a single vessel passing within sight of that point.

By 2004 the vessel had passed to private ownership and is now known as the Constellation.

He kept up a constant fire of turf, on the remote chance some vessel would pass by.

The research also has shown that whales are affected by vessels passing within several miles.

Every time when, even at certain distance, a vessel passed, the apparatus operated immediately.

I saw a large vessel pass the horizon struggling painfully.

"That vessel will soon be passing us," I said, after a moment's pause.

No vessel would likely pass near the closed zone.

Most vessels passing by now rely on satellite navigation systems.
