Talk:Tulsa Ports

The port is the most inland river port in the United States.[1][2]
This is nonsense -- probably puffing from a PR firm that can't read a map.
 * Tulsa -- 380nm from the Gulf of Mexico as the crow flies (ACF), around 611nm from the mouth of the Mississippi by water.
 * Duluth -- 545nm from James Bay, Canada ACF, more than 1,300nm from the mouth of the St. Lawrence.
 * Minneapolis/St. Paul -- 900nm miles from the Atlantic ACF, more than 900 miles from the mouth of the Mississippi.

On top of that, Duluth is a full seaport -- ocean-going vessels call there. Tulsa is a barge port. I suppose that the qualification "river port" rules out Duluth, even though you have to go through three rivers to get there, but what about Minneapolis?

The water distances were measured on nautical charts using chart plotting software; as it was obvious that it wasn't even close, it was not done precisely and the numbers should not be quoted. . . . . Jim. . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 13:45, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
