Of all the US states without a seaport, which state has the lowest point in elevation?

Delaware?
Was gonna pick Arizona but that's been done. Does seaport mean major seaport?

The southern tip might be fairly low in elevation.
Edited to say: actually Lake Champlain would probably be the lowest point. I believe it is lower in elevation than any of the Great Lakes. Definitely no seaports though.

Sorry for the slow response. I had an extended Dr's appointment.
The Mississippi River is only ~30 feet above sea level where it leaves Arkansas and enters Louisiana.

Arkansas is 55 feet (Ouachita River in Ashley-Union County). It is still the lowest, but it is fascinating to me the potential differences in how a source calculates that information.

Mississippi was lower than the Ouachita, which makes sense as the Ouachita is a Mississippi tributary.
