Which US state is closest to Africa?

Very interesting information. Virtually useless of course other than to remind us that the obvious is often not so obvious. From Which US state is closest to Africa? It's not Florida by Sean Kane.

I went with Cape Hatteras while Florida also seems a reasonable candidate. In fact, the answer is Quoddy Head Light in Maine. We are not talking about small differences either. Quoddy Head Light is closer to Africa than Florida by nearly nine hundred miles.
