The first tankers called on
the fledgling Port Canaveral in 1955. In the coming years, tourism, the
seafood industry, cargo ships, and the space race would drive business
and growth to the port. Now the second largest multi-day cruise port in
the world, Port Canaveral proudly holds the distinction of being the
first Quadra modal port in the world, with links to sea, land, air and
space transportation.
