Salina Cruz Port Boom and Decline in Mexico
A Washington National Geographic Society bulletin chronicles Salina Cruz on Mexico’s Pacific coast, its rise as a deep port tied to the Tehuantepec railroad and Panama Canal, then decline after wars and neglect. The piece notes dredging costs, port facilities, and the town’s population drop from 10,000 to about 3,000 as traffic waned, with a slim prospect for renewed growth through large craft and inter coastal trade.
