Travel by ship from Port of Baton Rouge?

Is is possible to rent a room aboard ships that dock at the Port of Baton Rouge and then travel abroad?
quote:
The Port of Baton Rouge is the ninth largest in the United States in terms of tonnage shipped, and is the farthest upstream Mississippi River port capable of handling Panamax ships.

Yes. There is a stowaway website that has been discussed.
Decent accommodations on some ships.
Not as cheap as you think.

Man, if we had something like a "Travel Board" here, this kind of question would really fit well on it!

I'll be damned. I've been living around here all my life and world adventure was just a stone's throw away.

That's an interesting question. Years ago, the owner of the company my dad worked for used to travel that way out of New Orleans. They would travel to some port in South America and fly back. The guy and his wife were voracious readers and would go through a suitcase full of books while sitting out on the deck. As I recall, there were about 6 cabins available.
Am interested to see what others may know.

As long as you don't mind whoring yourself out to the Panamanian deck hands.

Just take a cruise and get a balcony room if you don't want to see other people. Better food, I assume and something else to do if you do get bored. There are Transatlantic cruises and repositioning cruises you can take if you want to travel after.

Filipino deckhands** Panama is just where they get the ships flagged at. The Philippines provides all the Mariners

$7400 to travel around the world in 74 days. One day stops in various ports. Cabin is decent similar to a hotel room w king size bed.
I might have done that in my younger days
