What Countries Come To and From the Port of Brunswick?There have been ships from the Philippines,

China, Japan, Germany, and Spain.This would be a great experience for a fan of

Geography because you get to meet many people from different countries around the world.

This could teach about different languages and cultures.

This could also help you in Model UN and Social Studies classes because you learn about cultures.

Why is the U.S. dependent on the port?The Port of Brunswick is a big help with

exporting vehicles.Without the port, we would be well over

300,000 cars less.Also the port supplies us with corn and

grains.This is excellent because the demand for corn

has gone up steadily over the years.Without this knowledge you could not no that

Brunswick has numerous things!
