Continental United States' 3rd Coast (live, places, people, cons)

Heres Lake Okeechobee, you could basically call it an inland sea, but why not just a lake? Also, it is not part of any coast.

Does the navy build ships in any old lake? Were there ever any aircraft carriers or battleships in Lake Okeechobee? Could it be that the Great Lakes are that large and important to control that the Navy spent money to built entire fleets? Is it that hard to understand?

LOL @ Lake Okeechobee. Max depth 12 feet! Lake Superior is over 1,300 feet deep. Surface area 730 sq mi. Lake Ontario, the smallest of the Great Lakes, is over 10X larger at 7,540 sq mi.

I've often heard the banks of the Mississippi River called the "Third Coast". Many movies made, and books written about the river boats, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Hound and Steamboat Willie coasting up and down the big muddy.

Oh here we are,
coasting far.
Along the 3rd Coast,
ain't it the most.

My point was that they are not. One is a lake, the other a sea. Big difference.

Isn't it odd that the largest inland lake in the U.S. (Lake Okeechobee) is still 1/10th the size of the smallest Great Lake?

Isn't it odd that you said "one is a lake, the other a sea" yet they are called the Great LAKES?

WTH is wrong with calling the Great Lakes lakes??? I could've sworn that's what they were. Midwesterners getting offended over that statement; it's not an insult.
