The First Cruise Ship to Dock Here!
Sunday, March 23rd, 2014In the Truman Annex is the privately owned Pier B and the Navy’s pier is called the Navy Mole. It was here in 1969 that the first cruise ship docked and allowed its passengers to venture out into Key West to explore as cruise ship tourists! The name of the cruise ship to first dock in Key West was the Sunward of the Norwegian Cruise Ship Lines. She sure was the start of a wonderful cruise ship tourism industry!
