Queen Mary. (!)

From a website of which the American captain gives an engine room tour, he states that the main engine cooling water pumps performed perfectly at high tides but were not so reliable at low tides, bearing in mind that the inlets were many feet below the waterline, how did the tide effect them. The Queen I sailed on virtually only left on a high tide so that was one problem we did not have.
