Baytown’s ties to the sea are deep in tradition, dating
to the times of the Texas Revolution, circa 1830s, when
the feisty little Texas Navy boats darted up and down
our waterways.
In this century, tankers and freighters plying the
Houston Ship Channel in Baytown’s “backyard” are as
familiar to our residents as are trucks and cars on the
freeways.
So, in this area where the channel meets the sea,
where water has long affected our livelihood and
lifestyle, it is no wonder community leaders are respon-
ding favorably to the idea of a Navy base in this vicinity.
Among possible sites being considered are the Ashbel
Smith tract in the Evergreen Road region and U.S. Steel
property in nearby West Chambers County.
Navy officials are scheduled to tour these sites Thurs- II
day. Other proposed sites in the Houston-Galveston area i
are Bayport, on land owned by the Port of Houston; A
Snake Island, located south of the Texas City Dike, and J
Fort Point, a tract on the east end of Galveston island.
Several Texas cities are competing for the Navy base,
including Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Freeport and WASHINGTON — Across the that will dominate the decades tional executive Dan Kunz. disaster.
