  • THE LYNCHBURG VOLUNTEERS 1 2 3 by Trevia Wooster Beverly, Bernice Mistrot, and Mike Vance ©Baytown Historical Preservation Association4
    An Application for a Texas Historical Marker Presented to the Harris County Historical Commission – September 12, 2016 THE LYNCHBURG VOLUNTEERS 1 2 3 by Trevia Wooster Beverly, Bernice Mistrot, and Mike Vance ©Baytown Historical Preservation Association4 “The people of Texas do now constitute a free, sovereign and independent republic.”5 PREFACE6 From the colonial era until today, America has depended upon citizen soldiers in times of crisis requiring a military response. These men—and now women—set aside their personal and professional affairs to join or form military organizations. And, once the crisis was resolved, resumed their civilian occupations until they were again needed as soldiers. This was especially a characteristic of frontiersmen, one which they carried with them In the 1820’s and 1830’s as their line of settlement moved beyond the western border of the United States of America into the Spanish and then Mexican territory of Texas. I. CONTEXT 7 The area now known as Baytown was home to many who, arriving as early as 1822, would 8 9 become active in the struggle for Texas independence that culminated in 1836. Nathaniel Lynch, for whom the town of Lynchburg is named, arrived in Texas in the summer of 1822 with his wife and three children. On his one-league Mexican land grant, he established a trading post and a sawmill. 10 Together with Arthur McCormick, he operated the Lynchburg Ferry, which has been in continuous 11 12 operation since 1822. David Gouverneur Burnet brought a steam sawmill to the area in 1831.

    Characterization of Potential Adverse Health Effects Associated with Consuming Fish or Blue Crab from Trinity Bay and Upper Galveston Bay Chambers, Galveston, and Harris Counties, Texas April 2008 Department of State Health Services Division for Regulatory Services Policy, Standards, and Quality Assurance Unit Seafood and Aquatic Life Group Trinity Bay-Upper Galveston Bay RC 2006 INTRODUCTION Description of the Galveston Bay System Galveston Bay, the largest estuary on the Texas coast (600 square miles or 384,000 acres; 232 miles of shoreline) and the seventh largest in the United States, is a shallow bar-built estuary in a drowned river delta.1 The average depth of the bay is 7 feet, the maximum non-dredged depth approximately 10 feet.2 Galveston Bay is composed of four major sub-bays: Galveston Bay, Trinity Bay, East Bay, and West Bay. 3 The Galveston Bay watershed encompasses approximately 33,000 square miles comprised of three main drainages: the Trinity River watershed, the San Jacinto River watershed, and the coastal bayou watershed. The Trinity River basin provides about 51% of the freshwater inflow into Galveston Bay.3 The Galveston Bay watershed includes all or portions of 44 Texas counties; five counties surround the estuary: Brazoria, Chambers, Galveston, Harris, and Liberty. The watershed also includes the two largest metropolitan areas in Texas: Houston and Dallas–Fort Worth.2 To lend perspective to the size of this watershed, note that the city of Houston lies approximately 250 miles south-southeast of Dallas-Fort Worth. Galveston Bay, Texas’ largest fishery resource, contributes approximately one third of the state=s commercial fishing income.4 Commercial and recreational fishing on Galveston Bay generates over one billion dollars per year; over one-half of the state=s expenditures for recreational fishing go directly or indirectly to Galveston Bay.4 The areas around the Galveston Bay system are also home to one of the nation’s largest petrochemical and industrial complexes5.

  • 2018 Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Message from our CEO Dear Friends, “Vision is seeing something before you see it, so that you can actually see it” (author: unknown). The aforementioned quote not only reflects a powerfully insightful message, it also represents just how relevant it is to what we’ve experienced over the past year at Mariners Inn. We officially embarked on a journey to expand our mission and services in a way that will continue to successfully address the needs of the vulnerable target population that are seeking support to combat the disease of addiction and homelessness. We continue to be blessed beyond measure, because there is no greater feeling than helping to save lives. We recognize that our fortunate position to be able to do so would not be possible without the unwavering support of the community, our friends, donors and stakeholders. It is tremendously challenging for nonprofits in the human service arena to secure the type of fiduciary support that will contribute to the long-term general operating needs of organizations like ours. While that factual premise is supported by the data related to agencies providing services to those in need of help to regain their dignity and respect, it’s not a barrier to our success. We remain steadfastly committed to providing the type of services, resources, compassionate professionalism, expertise and love to the people we serve with a desired outcome of them returning to their families and the community clean, sober and ready to confidently embrace the future. Thank you for believing in us and our mission.
