... specifically the Port of New Orleans and its proximity to St. Louis Cathedral.
I've googled the maps and the history, but nothing so far has told me that the port was used for both steamboats and other, seafaring, ships - seems so far 'upriver' for the latter... and it's been a loooong time since I was down there.
So, can anyone help me here? Is the 'Port of New Orleans' that Google is showing on its maps as being near the place where the Lake Ponchetrain Highway crosses the Mississippi River in the same place it would have been back in 1871?
