Galveston is misspelled. Number 50 is blank. Also, source?

I can only assume your source is this: http://stateofthecoast.noaa.gov/ports/welcome.html. The New York number is for the combined ports of New York and New Jersey which are run by the same port authority. New Jersey should be accepted with New York and listed as part of the answer.

Some of these aren't cities.

This quiz would be really good if you put a map with the coast/rivers included highlighted in blue (for example, highlight all of the coast touching the ocean and the Mississippi river) Also, if you could just include cities over 50,000 people.

Surprised at the lack of some major coastal cities (San Francisco/Oakland relatively low, Miami, Baltimore, DC, San Diego). Also, what city is meant by South Louisiana, Hampton Roads (tried Norfolk and VA Beach), Indiana Harbor, and what states are some of the smaller cities in?

I thought Norfolk has more gross tonnage?

Was thinking of making this quiz and came here to find you had already done it. Good data, but a couple suggestions: (1) List your source. (2) Lose the thick black lines surrounding every cell. (3) Add city names for some of the ports as alternate answers. (4) Instead of putting 1st, 2nd, 3rd in your first column, put the tonnage there. Everyone taking the quiz can figure out the order from that. Then you might consider adding an additional clue in the third column, such as body of water.
