On Saturday, Oct. 20, Crowley Maritime Corp. hosted representatives of federal, state and local government, business partners and customers to celebrate the historic christening of El Coqui, the innovative new ship that has quickly become an industry leader for fast and reliable shipping and logistics services between the U.S. mainland and Puerto.
In this gallery, photographers captured the special day celebrating the crew and other men and women who brought the ship -- and its forthcoming sister ship Taino -- to reality. The vent was held at the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) Cruise Terminal.
