Wheels and Waves

The physically handicapped have always had difficulty finding accessible ships; narrow doors and high sills often blocked their way. Larger, more acessible cabins have recently been introduced, but few older and smaller ships have passable cabins. Limitations in dozens of ships, large and small, new and old, are all described in some detail. This first guide for those unable to easily walk, includes crise ships and many long distance ferries, river boats, canal barges and smaller boats too that are more accessible. Large Pacific Northwest car ferries provide alternatives to an Alaskan cruise along the British Columbia Coast on up to Alaska. Others cross Lake Michigan, and to the east the mouth of the St. Lawrence River and all of Canada's Maritime Provinces. In Europe, far more spectacular, extraordinarily large, long distance ferries rival the latest attraction-filled cruise ships. Some river boats, canal barges, sailboats and smaller boats are also described along with many other tips and references for the handicapped. --- from book's dustjacket
