Have You Ever Traveled By Cargo Ship?

Many of the cargo ships offer passenger bookings. I’ve been watching videos and it’s interesting. I guess it depends on which cargo company you book but some have good sized cabins and private bathrooms, some not so much. Meals are included but it varies.

Never done it but know about it and thought about doing the GreatLakes and St.Lawerence seaway

@MethDozer what kind of ships do they have going through there?

@cherokeepatti Any ship that is designated "Seawaymax".
740 feet in length, 78 feet wide, and have a draft of 26.51 feet and a height above the waterline of 116 feet maximum can travel the entire seaway

Lakers bigger than that cannot fit in the locks and cannot pass Massena NY. Saltiness from the ocean bigger than Seawaymax cannot come much farther than Montreal on the Seaway.
