Murray & Associates, Inc. Submitted April 8, 2005 Revised October 2005 Contact Person and Project Manager THOMAS J. MURRAY P.O. Box 1083, Gloucester Point, Virginia 23062 The Impact of the Cruise Ship Industry on the Quality of Life in Key West 3. THE IMPACT ON THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT 3.A Historical Review of Key West Channel and Harbor This section focuses on the history of the main ship channel and harbor at Key West, and explores the historic and current use by large (greater than about 50 feet long), deep draft vessels and cruise ships. The main ship channel south of Key West is used by transit in and out of the Port of Key West and the harbor is used for turning of large vessels. Prior to formal settlement in the early 1800s, the deep natural channel and deep protected harbor were likely used by native Americans, pirates, Bahamian wreckers, and the Spanish while in transit from the Caribbean, Cuba and the Bahamas to parts north and into the Gulf of Mexico. Prior to the completion of the Overseas Railroad to Key West in 1912 all commerce in and out of Key West occurred via vessels of all sizes. From the beginning "Key West's early settlers found that the surrounding waters, at worst, provided a livelihood, and at best, brought them wealth. Few family heads arrived without some type of sailing craft, and owners of large sloops and schooners found wealth in Havana and the West Indies trade." (Langley 1973).
