All vessels, craft, or floats navigating the harbor, when passing any bridge shall be moved past the same as expeditiously as is consistent with a proper movement in the harbor; but in no case shall any such vessel, craft, or float while passing any bridge and obstructing the passage across such bridge, move at a rate of speed less than two miles per hour, and in no case shall any vessel, craft, or float, while passing any bridge and obstructing the same, remain or obstruct the passage across such bridge more than five minutes; and no vessel, craft, or float shall be so anchored, laid, moored, fastened or brought to a stop as to prevent any bridge from a free and speedy opening or closing, or any vessel from a free and direct passage, nor shall any line or fastening be so thrown, laid, or made fast as to cross the track of any bridge or vessel. The master or other person having charge of such vessel, craft, or float which violates any provision of this section shall be fined not less than $100.00 nor more than $500.00 for each offense.
