Why would this matter to a boatless landlubber living in Derby, Kansas?

Perhaps it matters to Skipper because he is checking to see if they are
longer than the coast of the Rock River Rapids, in Derby.

Harry,
Why do you hector everyone who makes an on topic post?

No, don't think so. Michigan would be #2, if you added up the coastlines
of all of it's islands. ;-)

If you do that, it's #1:

"The state with the longest coastline in the US is Michigan."

This is what I copied from "Alaska Facts"


At 656,425 square miles, Alaska is the largest state, twice the size of
Texas, and one fifth the size of the entire United States. 570,374 square
miles of Alaska are land areas and 86,051 square miles of Alaska are covered
by water. North to South, Alaska is 1,400 miles long. East to West, it is
2,700 miles wide.

Alaska has the longest general coastline of any state. The Alaskan coastline
extends for 6,640 miles, a distance greater than that of all the other
states' coastlines combined. Including islands, Alaska has 33,904 miles of
shoreline. The estimated tidal shoreline, including islands, inlets sounds
and bays, is 47,300 miles.
