Dedicated on November 4th, 1953 Port Canaveral’s first industry was commercial fishing. Then within a few years cargo vessels arrived, filled with oil and newsprint, and by 1958 tanker vessels carrying central Florida’s orange juice made their way to New York.

Cruise traffic began to appear in 1964 with the SS Yarmouth Castle being one of the first few cruise ships in the area. Today almost 4 million tons of cargo moves through the Port each year, and it is home to a major petroleum terminal and tank farm.

The Port Canaveral has played an integral role in the American space program. A Lock dedicated to the movement of rockets was opened in 1965 and was used during the Apollo space program. Segments of the Saturn V moved through this port and NASA contributed significant funds for improvements to the Canaveral Lock that same year, and more recently the Space Shuttle’s external tanks were floated into the Port for each mission.
