If you’d like, I can drill down into a specific port (Canaveral or Fort Lauderdale) and pull the most recent primary sources or summarize the key dates and terminal features. For example, I can compile a side-by-side view of terminal names, opening dates, and homeport memberships with citations. Please tell me which port you care about.[2][3][8]
