Is the city really a “seaport”?
In the intro text it is mentioned this was a major “seaport”.

If it ever was, it certainly isn't any longer. Miles inland from the sea, and further, it doesn’t appear the river is of any consequential size either... Bago Region may possibly considered having seaport, but certainly not Bago city itself. 2A00:23C4:C585:8501:9880:88D4:D490:2186 (talk) 13:42, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It was not a seaport itself. In fact, the delta has shrunk near Bago since 1925 so it's closer tot he sea than before. However, Bago was a major trading site but I don't know the details of how trade left Bago to enter the sea. EmeraldRange (talk) 06:28, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
