That is not how the Army Corps defines it, and they are the ones who control navigation for shipping.

I could get in my boat right now and get to all but 8 US states.

I won't and wouldn't, but I could.

I was going to post a question of whether states / countries with only river access to an ocean are considered "landlocked". I was thinking specifically of states on the Mississippi river that are otherwise considered landlocked but one of their borders is defined by the river. But instead of posting here I googled it.

Apparently they are. Because where the river empties into the ocean is controlled by a state/nation other than themselves, they are considered landlocked.

They were landlocked until the Union took Vicksburg back from the Rebels.

Right, but it's the difference between physically navigable and politically navigable. 

Belarus has a river connection to the Black Sea, which has a connection to the Mediterranean through the Turkish Straits (and other large seas). But in order for Belarusian ships to reach the Black Sea, they must be granted access by Ukraine. 

Iowa relies on the fact that the federal government won't allow any states south of them on the Mississippi to impede their access to the Gulf, since they don't politically control passage down that river. 

That's great news. I bet you can't wait to pick her up from MIA.

Yes- other than driving in that insane traffic.  😂

Given all that she's been through, I'm sure you'd walk if it was necessary lol...
