[QUOTE]Originally posted by sojourner: [QB] I'm not sure about lack of ferries in the West, Mr Harris. There really are lots in Europe (see links below). I don't understand why there aren't interisland ferries in Hawaii, and a way to get to Hawaii by boat from the US mainland without taking a cruise--Jack London did it! but now you cannot even take a freighter to Hawaii, except maybe from Canada. There also ought to be ferries from the US to the Caribbean. I did find one from Fort Lauderdale to Freeport in the Bahamas, and I guess once you get there, you can get to other islands in the Bahamas by ferry, but not beyond. There are some other ferries in the Caribbean; for instance, it looks like you can go from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico and then from Puerto Rico the Virgin Islands, both British and US. It also looks like you can go from Guadeloupe to Dominica to Martinique to St Lucia or vice versa. Otherwise most of the ferries are shorter distances within one country. Here are some links to these Caribbean ferries: http://www.howderfamily.com/travel/caribbean_ferry_map.html http://www.bvitourism.com/inter-island-ferries [British Virgin Islands] In contrast, you can go all over the place by ferry in Europe.
