    I used to live in an industrial city with one of the biggest inland ports in the world. The rivers are a pretty popular hangout spot. People get some portable grills and chairs and just watch the ships go by. I feel like they are a bit less interesting then old ships tho.

      And numerous. A new ship docking would set a town into a flurry, bringing in trade and money for services. Now at today’s scale of everything, one ship is meaningless unless it’s something like a giant tourist ship to a small tourist town.
