From bold Spanish explorers, the Civil War, great cigar barons, and sponge magnates, people from all walks of life have made Key West their home. Relax and enjoy a ride through centuries of Key West history.
Walk about 250 yards to board the Conch Train -- a themed multi-car wheeled street tram. Originally named Bone Key for its grisly Native history, Key West is now a lush, tropical and densely-populated island. Discover the charm and grace of some of America's architectural treasures. Learn about John James Audubon, Ernest Hemingway, and Harry S Truman. As the tour meanders through the Old Town with its blend of tropical plants and flowers, see the historic seaport, the southernmost point of the continental USA, the cigar makers' shotgun houses, wreckers' mansions and pretty churches -- all part of the island's tapestry. Delve into the golden age of settlement through the exciting days of the railroad, the Great Depression, World War II, the Kennedy era and the Cuban Missile Crisis to the present.
Leave the "train" in Mallory Square to browse in the numerous shops before heading back to the ship on your own.
