 Here's the Port of Sacramento. Yes, that's right: Sacramento, which is located fully 90 miles from the Pacific Ocean, has a deep-water, oceangoing seaport. Well, actually the Port of Sacramento is located in the city of West Sacramento - but you get the idea. People actually dug a huge trench all the way from the San Francisco Bay to Sacramento, just to let oceangoing ships sail to Sacramento!
The words under "Port of Sacramento" in big red letters say "Serving the Rice Industry." I guess it isn't serving the rice industry well enough, though, because the Port of Sacramento is having financial difficulties lately, and being financially taken over by the Port of Oakland as a result. |
