My husband found this site where people can hop on a freighter and travel around the world cheap. Looks very interesting and something we would do later in life. It looks like we would need a lot of time.
Found this website:

When you were on the ships did you ever carry passengers?
Can you also explain the Passenger Vessel Services Act of 1886?
It says "No foreign vessels shall transport passengers between ports or places in the United States, either directly or by way of a foreign port, under a penalty of $200 (now $300) for each passenger so transported and landed."
but it gives no reason why this act was enacted. Who or what were they protecting when they made up this rule?
This type of travel seems really cool!
