perfect for short sea shipping
Behold, our beautiful waterways!
Mannahatta is the little blip in red. This heart of ________________ (fill in the blank: culture, art, commerce, diversity, Sodom and Gomorrah) has been nourished by the lifeblood that pulsates and surrounds it.
To the north runs the Hudson, up the incredible locks of the New York State and Champlain canals.
Westward are the indomitable salt marshes, the silting arteries of the Passaic and Hackensack, the very busy Kill van Kull and Arthur Kill, the Raritan river which once connected us to Delaware via a canal now long gone. (Here are those mules of TWIC card fame!)
The East river mingles with the Bronx River, and flows out into the mighty Long Island Sound and beyond. Or, runs inland as the Newtown Creek and the Gowanus. Out the Narrows, the waters flow through Jamaica Bay, Sandy Hook…and out to sea.

What Joe said, I think. It’s usually something to do with rum.
You say that Manhattan is the little red blip. Amazing. Such vibrant life in a little blip. I think those big Manhattan bank CEOs should look at this blip and try to see where they fit in it, it could make them feel smaller – maybe?
