Water-borne cruises put marine life up close and personal

In 1834, Anahuac was the leading port for Trinity Bay and the Trinity River. The port later became home to three wharves, a shipyard, sawmill and warehouses. Erosion, hurricanes and time have taken their toll, and the port is now home to only two boats - the Smith Point and the Moss Bluff. While the boats are only a reminder of the activity that used to surround the port, they are attracting renewed interest in the port and the area by educating students - and the public - about the past and preparing them to meet the challenges of the future
