  • Delaware

    Every day, past my Detroit window, pass ships registered in Wilmington, Delaware. It says "Wilmington, Delaware" on their sterns, just below their names. These are Great Lakes ships which never go to Delaware. Does Wilmington even have a port?

    Does Delaware have a port? Does Delaware even exist? Delaware supposedly is a tiny state on the east coast, but have you even met an actual person from Delaware? Delaware is even more mysterious than Rhode Island. Have you ever actually been there?

    Delaware is a flag of convenince state for ships and for corporations. "60 Minutes" ought to do an exposee. I bet they would find nothing, just a P.O. Box somewhere near New Jersey.
