The Wilson, which carries 781 passengers, entered pier 8 at 10 a.m. this morning. The vessel arrived at the pier two hours behind schedule. 339 passengers out of 781 passengers, the maximum number of passengers for the vessel, have a relationship with Hawaii. The vessel had never carried the maximum number of passengers since World War II.
