In 1896, wealthy businessman and railroad pioneer, Henry Flagler, extended his East Coast Railroad to Miami.  Shortly thereafter, he funded construction of the Port of Miami and began collecting dockage fees.  The Port of Miami welcomed its first passenger ship on scheduled sailings to Baltimore in 1920, and in 1924 inaugurated service to New York.  In the 1930s, regular cruises between Miami and Havana, Cuba became popular.  Currently the port has 750 acres dedicated to rolling stock, container yards, refrigerated warehouse space, gantry crane facilitates, 12 modern cruise terminals, and administration offices.  Today, four of Florida's 14 seaports rank in the top 25 in the nation in the volume of merchandise traded.
