So you are saying that in the past 50 years a major portion of importation and exportation didn't shift to the port of Houston? Like I said that's why you hear all about so much of the maritime legal work drying up in the city. I've heard countless accounts of that from attorneys who were in that field in the heyday. I'm not saying that the port is nonexistent or in danger of shutting down, I am merely saying that as with much of Louisiana's domestic industry moving to Tx, so has a great deal of the port activity. Same as so many of the international consulates leaving New Orleans and the World Trade building becoming a hotel.

Port of South Louisiana is still larger than Houstan and largest in the western hemisphere in tonnage and that is in Laplace. New Orleans port ranks 7th and BR 10th for total domestic and international tonnage. So those three ports all less than 90 miles of each other is about twice the tonnage of Houston. People still like to use that big waterway called the Mississippi River.
