Like a big lake has anything to do with anything nowadays when you can just cruise up on an aircraft carrier and launch an attack from anywhere.
In shipping... it still makes no difference, a plane can get across the Atlantic in a matter of hours.
Also, it's true that they CAN manufacture much more efficient products, but if they could they would never get any more money. I've heard GM bought an engine type from this freelance inventor that had so few moving parts that it would probably never need to be replaced... Then they patented it and locked it up in a warehouse somewhere.
