that is 6,000 trips @ 5 people per trip in a flat bottom boat.



I'm not talking a small boat. I'm talking military craft that handle 50 to 100 people at a time.



You don;t have the ground clearence for that type of craft. You're talking about keel depth of 30+ feet for most of the larger ships. You have to first get them into the city, then have them clear both the ground and all the houses and other buildings. You simply can't do it.
