      It compares the day with a typical Skagway day with ships. Quiet is under half of that, Light 50–85%, Typical 85–115%, Busy 115–150% and Peak more than one and a half times. Each port is compared with itself, so a Busy day in a small port has far fewer people than one in a big homeport.

      Most ships call at Skagway for the day: they arrive in the morning and leave in the late afternoon, so the town and its sights are busiest in between.
