Travelling to New York by sea

I want to travel to New York by ship towards the end of September, returning in October. I am not looking for an expensive cruise and ideally would like to go on a cargo boat which takes a few passengers at a price not exceeding twice a reasonable airfare. Any suggestions?
  
  


• My daughter travelled on a container ship from Thamesport to Montreal and back with Canada Maritime, booked through Strand Voyages. She had a wonderful time. There are passages to New York from Thamesport available through Strand Voyages and also The Cruise People. Good sailing

• Strand Voyages (020-7836 6363) is the booking agent for various companies that run cargo boats. Ships to New York and Norfolk, Virginia, are full for the next few months. Montreal costs £995pp one way, for a 10-day journey via Antwerp and Le Havre. The Cruise People (020-7723 2450) has spaces to Staten Island from Thamesport costing approximately £1,125pp in a double cabin. The boat can be picked up in Le Havre
