The SS Florida was a ship that connected Tampa, Key West and Havana. In 1934 service was transferred to a Miami-Havana route; in 1954 a weekly Miami-Nassau round trip was tried briefly to compete with Eastern Steamship Line, but the Florida reverted to three weekly Miami-Havana round-trip for sailings. It only cost $42 a person for this trip. This fare included all transportation, two nights aboard ship, a day in Havana and all meals.

Alfred died 14 Jul 1963 in Lafayette, IN from Cirrhosis of the liver. Alfred liked hie drink, this most likely is why he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, I never found a newspaper article on his charge.
