Al Palmer's wateri:ont stories in The Citizen should | > prove’ an impevus 1 the Chamber of Commerce and other ' loca) civic bodies to try to bring back at least some of the | ’ glory it enjoyed for many years as the foremost port in Florida. A few weeks ago The C itizen remarked that it was ineengruous to realize tha: Key West, an island city, with | a 26-foot channel running along its northwesterly side, has no shipping interests as a port of call and departure. With Key West at its peak in population and business in- | ierests, shipping should play an important role in its con- \ tintied growth. *Had Paimer been here in the old days, he could have | filled a page of The Citizcn dail suming he would have been able to turn out that much copy. Key West was the base of more than 100 scnooners, most of them spongers, and steamships arrived and left here daily, aside from the ships that ran regularly between here and Havana, Tam- pa ‘and Miami. Key ‘West in those days, together with Tampa, sup-| plied all Florida and som: other parts of the South with | products from Cuba, but today, whatever Cuban ‘prodtttts Key West gets come here by way of Miami. As a result | Key West housewives pay two or three times as much for | plantains, avocados and other fruits or vegetables geh erally,.as.they used to pay. That condition may be reliev- | ed in a measure when the Carib Queen begins to operate | hefWeen here and Havana, but Key West needs more | shipping and.the need wil become more acute the great- er our city’s growth. Mallory liners, for more than half a century, supplied ' Key-West.twice a week with freight from New York and | & Galveston, That line, under the name of the Clyde-Mal- lory, still runs between New York and Galveston, and ef- fotits should be made to have it stop at Key West again on itsssouthward and northeri trips. The way to get anything is to go after it determined- ‘0 far as The Citizen knows, no constant effort has | beén made in recent years local civic bodies to try to | | | re}stablish Key West shipping, Key West has a good poft but it is like good money kept in a sock.
