Wow, when did Mobile Alabama become part of Mexico?

You need to find a map of the Gulf of America to find that route.
Seriously, their web site noted above clearly shows their route from Mobile (USA) to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.
Never touches Cuba.

Jan 20, 2025    One of President Trump's first Excutive Orders.    He really doesn't have the authority to do this but the map companies are going along with this, for now.

The West India Fruit and Steamship Company operated rail ferries between West Palm Beach and Cuba until the 1959 revolution.  At the time the service ended, they had six ferries.  One, the Canadian-built MV New Grand Haven, was sold to CN for use on the Cabot Strait between North Sydney, NS and Port-aux-Basques, NL.  Renamed the Patrick Morris, it sank in 1970 while responding to a rescue call from a fishing vessel off Cape Breton Island.
