The Kennedy administration faces limited options against Fidel Castro as Cuba remains isolated from the Western Hemisphere. In 1963 only 164 free world ships visited Cuba in six months, with 1992 figures down from 599 in 1962. Most shipping lines have halted U S trade, while small British and Scandinavian firms fill gaps.
