It only now occurs to me that San Antonio would actually make for a fine port...
....For airships.
While the weather here can be pretty chaotic (during Winter) or even downright frightful at times (on-and-off during Spring and Autumn), these are typically punctuations between long stretches of relatively calm weather, offering ample opportunity to get large and unwieldy airships properly moored.
Keep in mind that until its closure, Kelly Air Force Base was the primary logistical hub of the USAF during the Cold War. If it was moving east to west, or vice versa, then chances are it went through Kelly.
Possible ships to be moored:
Silvana (Last Exile)
Urbanus (Last Exile)
Highwind (FFVII)
Helicarrier (Marvel)
Manta Station (Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow)
Tiger Moth (Castle in the Sky)
Hyperion (The Island at the Top of the World)
Can anyone think of any others?
