It was a good series. If we were going to lose the NLCS, Snakes are a decent team to lose to.

Also they opened a canal or whatever through Niagara so Erie is also an ocean port now but for smaller ships I guess

I can't believe we're arguing about this, but landlocked generally means having no navigable water path to the ocean. Minneapolis: not landlocked. Denver: landlocked. Philadelphia: not landlocked. Dallas: landlocked.

simble posted:FYI: Phoenix is landlocked Based on all the above reasoning, it isn't! It sits on the (now-mostly/typically dry) Salt River, which is a tributary to the (also now mostly/typically dry) Gila River, that is itself a tributary to the Colorado River that still (barely) flows into the Gulf of California. In the old'n days before Arizona when crazy daming up the various rivers, you could technically go from Phoenix to the Gulf of California if you really wanted to, via boat, though it wasn't really done. All of these flowed perennially, and at a decent rate all things considered.

I don't think I'd consider this as the lower Colorado River, even before the ridiculous amount of damming and diversions, was historically difficult to navigate from season to season, let alone year to year. Even so, the size of a boat that you could get from the mouth of the Colorado all the way to Phoenix would be very small. You'd have been far more likely NOT to make it. So, like... occasionally not landlocked?

Hey, I never said the size of the boat!  Though up until the late 19th century, they were using steamboats to go from the Gulf of California to Yuma, and then further up from Yuma via the Gila River.The Gila enters the Colorado River basically at Yuma, and Yuma itself is only about 90 miles north "as the river flows" from the Gulf of California. It's pretty much at the end of the Lower Colorado River, where the river flow, while heavy and heavily variable pre-dams, was much less violent than you see further up the river, whether the "upper" Lower Colorado River or the Upper Colorado River itself. Floating down the Salt->Gila->Colorado at this time would have been relatively easy, all things considered. But reversing this course would have been difficult if not using a shallow draft steamboat, etc., and ultimately wasn't really done a whole lot once the railroads showed up.

The best Gila River Navigability story is about those WWII German sailor POWs in Phoenix at what is now Papago Park. They obtained a map and a raft and planned to float down the Salt River to the Gila River to the Colorado River to freedom. Imagine their surprise when they arrived at the blue line on the map and found it to be a river of sand. Living in the desert and getting three square meals a day sounds much more comfortable (and survivable) compared to the alternative of being on a late war U-boat crew. I've seen Das Boot. Relevant to this subforum, there's a great story that I can't find a source for. One of the escapees is said to have snuck back into the camp before escaping again. The reason for his un-escape was because there was a camp-wide volleyball tournament that he really wanted to watch.
