Thanks, Peter.
I had wondered about the south Brazilian port of Rio Grande but I hadn't checked it in detail. (Thank you, Wikipedia.) It looks plausible in terms of age and size. Pity it will be under water in 50 years or so.
Since my post was already a bit long I omitted my usual apology in case the topic had already been discussed to death.
