[Verginius Rufus]

22 Of our states have ocean/gulf coastlines, with an additional seven on the great lakes.

I would make that 23, by including Connecticut which is on the Long Island Sound (salt water, almost part of the Atlantic Ocean).

"I would make that 23, by including Connecticut which is on the Long Island Sound."

You're right; I miscounted. Although the salt line of the Delaware River does sometimes go as far north as Philadelphia, and even aircraft carriers make it up to the Philadelphia Navy Yard for service, I opted to not count PA (which still qualifies as a Great Lakes State). For some reason when I did the math in my head what should have been 24-1 became 23-1.
