The Actual Length of Wamart Ships
John Porco | 1/30/12
Although I certainly have serious misgivings about a Walmartin Pagosa, I think we need to be correct in articles about the situation in order to maintain credibility.

Mr. Bentley's recent opinion piece says that the ships that bring Chinese goods to the West Coast are almost a mile long. This is wildly incorrect. The largest container ships are about 1,200 feet long — big, but far short of a mile!
