4 Message from the CEO 5 The goal to dredge the channel to a depth that keeps the Port of Corpus Christi on the competitive edge for global trade began as early as 1839 when Corpus Christi Port was a trading post. In 1923, the first Commissioners—Robert Driscoll, John W. Kellam, and W.W. Jones—set out on a quest to open a deep draft port and, in 1926, History the Port officially opened. Throughout the Port’s 92-year history, the deepening of the Corpus Christi Ship Channel has been the ultimate leadership task.
