A monumental retelling of world history through the lens of the sea, revealing how people first connected by ocean and how goods, languages, religions, and cultures spread across the world's waterways. From ancient maritime enterprise to modern container ships, Paine demonstrates how the rise and fall of civilizations has been fundamentally linked to the sea.

An all-inclusive port handling both containerized cargo and cruise ships, with primary trade flows from Latin America and the Caribbean. Port Everglades specializes in vehicle imports and fresh fruit and vegetable goods, ranking 14th nationally in TEU volume and 11th in tonnage. The port distinguishes itself with a higher average shipment weight of approximately 50,000 KG per shipment—significantly heavier than Miami's 30,000 KG and Palm Beach's 35,000 KG. This concentrated focus on higher-weight commodities reflects its strategic role in South Florida's diversified port ecosystem.
