Seaworthy Appoints Patrick J. McAllister ment, the Atlantic and Pacific, operate from both U.S. coasts. One route, with six vessels, con- nects the U.S. East Coast to the Caribbean, Central America, and ports on the west coast of South America. From U.S. West Coast ports, another fleet of six vessels sails around South America and to the west coast of South Amer- ica.
