Tacoma in cui giunsi in l’altro giorno, e una bella citta che ora conta 50,000 abitanti ma che vent’anni fa non esisteva. Essa e situata sopra una collina i cui piedi sono bagnati dalle acque salse del Puget Sound. Questo non so se chiamarlo laguna o mare interno o estuario. E certo che e una cosa meravigliosa ed e una risorsa incalcolabile per queste regioni. Figurati un porto naturale avente un’area di circa 4000 km quadrati con una costa frastagliatissima lunga circa 2400 chilometri, profondissimo, cosicche le navi anche le piu grandi, non posson trovar fondo, nepure in vicinanza della riva.
I arrived in Tacoma the other morning, a beautiful city with 50,000 inhabitants that didn’t exist twenty years ago. It’s situated on top of a hill, the feet of which bathe in the water of the Puget Sound. I’m not sure if you would call the sound a lake, and inner sea, or an estuary. It’s certain that it’s an incredible sight and an incalculable resource for these regions. I figured a natural port with an area of around 4,000 square kms with a bay about 2400 kms long, so deep that even ships, even the largest you can imagine don’t find the bottom, not even in the proximity of the river.
