摘要：	The Mississippi River, from its headwaters at Lake Itaska to where its passes stretch into the Gulf of Mexico like a taloned bird's foot, has played a leading role in the culture, psyche, economy and growth of the United States throughout its history. For that role, the river has garnered its fair share of nicknames over the years, including Old Man River, Big River, Father of Waters and the Mighty Mississippi, just to name a few. But now that the controlling draft of the Mississippi River Ship Channel from the Gulf up to Mile 106 has been increased to 50 feet, with work continuing to deepen the river from 45 feet to 50 feet all the way through the Port of Greater Baton Rouge, stakeholders of the deeper channel have a new name for the river: The Mightier Mississippi.
