Looking for Break Bulk Freighter Info

[BeardedGuy]

After reading some of the descriptions of freighter travel on container ships, and an explanation of the difference between them and break bulk freighters, I started searching for information on the latter. Thus far, I have been unable to locate any information about them, and was wondering if:

1. there are still any out there that carry passengers

2. there is a website I might consult for information

Thanks for your help.

Beardedguy, Yes, there are still freighters other than container ships that carry passengers, but not many. Try these places:

Most breakbulk ships today carry things that don't lend themselves to containerization, such as large machinery, project cargo, structural steel, and heavy-lift cargo.

I forgot to mention another link

http://www.freightercruises.com/voyages.php is another link (to Maris)

I know that Rickmers operates breakbulk freighters that carry passengers.

Captain McD - Thanks, I'll check 'em out. We won't be doing it anytime soon anyway - I'm broke!
