Port of Cattoosa, maybe?

"The Tulsa Port of Catoosa is one of the largest, most inland river-ports in the United States! Located at the head of navigation for the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System in Northeast Oklahoma, the Tulsa Port of Catoosa offers year round, ice-free barge service with river flow levels controlled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers."

It does actually have ocean-going capability, with access via the Arkansas river to the Mississippi river, and into the Gulf of Mexico.  I'm not saying that it's even remotely possible that a whale could make it up there... but obviously at some point in history someone did...   


And that's not even the weirdest law on the OK books...

On that note Catoosa is rather famouse for its Route 66 Blue Whale.
Oklahoma has more shoreline then any other state in the U.S.

rabbi

would you please explain that second one a bit more.

[The Rabbi]

Due to Oklahoma being indian Territory first there are 64 tribes considered native to the State of Oklahoma with some tribal languages having up to 7 different dialects with English, Spanish, and German plus variouse others having claimed nativity. Tried to find the exact snumber and source but can not remember where I saw it at. Was also informed of this while in Germany during a required class after first arriving there. With all the different tribes and thier dialects there are more languages spoken in Oklahoma then all of europe.

[BLAKDUKE]

The second not the third

[The Rabbi]

My apologies good sir misunderstood as the second you refere to Oklahoma has more shoreline then any other state in the U.S. Our abundant lakes, rivers, creeks, and navigational channels with a total of 11,611 miles of shoreline. We also have more man made lakes than any other state with enough water to cover the entire state in over two feet of water.

[Captain Jack Wolfe]

Interesting claim, seeing how Minnesota has 90,000 miles of shoreline along 63,000 miles of natural streams, lakes, and rivers, according to the state Department of Natural Resources.  That's more than California, Florida and Hawaii combined.

[The Rabbi]

I aint gonna contest or measure lol just going by the info given.

Boise City, Oklahoma was the only city in the United States to be bombed during World War II. On Monday night, July 5, 1943, at approximately 12:30 a.m., a B-17 Bomber based at Dalhart Army Air Base (50 miles to the south of Boise City) dropped six practice bombs on the sleeping town.
