Baltic Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3269 words)
The Baltic Sea's salinity is much lower than the ocean's, as a result of abundant freshwater runoff from the surrounding land; indeed, runoff contributes roughly 1/40th its total volume.(Alhonen 88) It varies from 0.1% in the north to 0.6-0.8% in the center.
Lands next to the sea's eastern shore were among the last in Europe to be converted into Christianity in the Northern Crusades: Finland in the 12th century by the Swedes, and what are now Estonia and Latvia in the early 13th century by the Danes and the Germans (Livonian Brothers of the Sword).
After 1945 the sea was a border between opposing military blocks: in the case of military conflict in Germany, in parallel with a Soviet offensive towards the Atlantic Ocean, communist Poland's fleet was prepared to invade the Danish isles.
Ports - Columbia Encyclopedia article about Ports (352 words)
port, a natural or artificial harbor and its terminal facilities for the transfer of goods and passengers to or from waterborne means of transport.
Port cities are located on oceans, lakes, rivers, and canals in places where access to the hinterland provides a large volume of commerce.
Vintage port is wine of an exceptional year, kept in cask for two or three years, then matured in bottles—much of it for 25 years.
