Modern Business Geography chians, it does not furnish a level path, like the Mohawk valley, through the Allegheny plateau. Hence west of Altoona the Pennsylvania Railroad must wind up the face of the escarpment over the Horseshoe Curve and then twist and turn for many miles in getting down to Pittsburgh. This is a disadvantage like that which the Berkshire hills in western Massachusetts impose on Boston. Another disadvantage is that the harbor of Philadelphia is not so deep or so easy to enter as that of New York, and has much less space for docks. F inally, the port of Philadelphia is 150 miles farther from Europe than is New York. No one of these disadvantages is perhaps great, but all to- gether they give New York a decided advantage. Nevertheless, Philadelphia stands second in size among the seaports of America, and among all the cities of the New World only New York and Chicago are larger. How Baltimore is helped by the water and hindered by the land. The relation of Baltimore to Philadelphia is almost like that of Phila- delphia to New York. Baltimore has a good harbor which has been much improved by dredging. Incidentally the harbor permits Balti- more to profit from a thriving oyster fishing business in Chesapeake Bay. The city is also helped by the Potomac River, which gives a nearly level route across part of the Appalachian Mountains. Here, just as at Philadelphia, the main railroad follows a river that enters a bay west of that which affords the city access to the ocean. Baltimore's transportation facilities are hampered by the land. The peninsula of Delaware, east of the bay, obliges ships bound for Europe to go 160 miles south and then to sail an equal distance back toward the northeast before they reach a position as good as that of a ship starting from New York. On the inland side of Baltimore, the route up the Potomac is more difficult than that up the Susquehanna and cannot compare with the Hudson-Mohawk route. Thus Baltimore, although it has a fine hinterland in its immediate vicinity, does not draw exten- sively on the interior plains or the Great Lakes region. For shipping soft coal to the South and for southern trade in general it has a fine location, and this helps to make it one of the country’s chief cities. The other end of Chesapeake Bay. The trade of Chesapeake Bay is divided between the two ends. Philadelphia gets the most, but a good deal passes through Norfolk and the neighboring cities of Portsmouth and Newport News. By far the most important article of export here is coal from the mines of West Virginia, more than a million tons a month. Half of all the tobacco that we send abroad also goes from here, and many ships carry fresh vegetables to New York. 212
