First Brazos- Santiago
Pass Jetties Built In
1882, Engineer Reveals

ms dc "a - FIRST BhAZO5 -
The first Jetty ever built by the
United States government at Bra
zos-Santiago pass, key TO this sec
tons deep water development. was
In 1852, and not IN 1925. 1t Is re-
vealed in an article written recent
ly for The Military Engineer by
Captain A. l.. Lane. who was for
years engineer for the War Depart
ment on the port work here and at
Fort Isabel.
Captain Lane reveals that dredg-
, 1935-09-22

ing operations In the pass &c Bra
zos-Santiago have brought UP rem
nants Of this old Ietty. which had
apparently disappeared
A single jetty was built. IT was
made OF alternate layers of brush
mattress and clay bricks. The bricks
we're about twice the size OF ordinary
building bricks.
The jetty was on the south side
Of the pass. extending out from
Brazos Island In about the same 10
cation as the present jetty. 1t was
built between 1882 and 1884.
"A survey and inspection made In
1887 disclosed that the jetty had
completely disappeared" Captain
Lanes articles disclose. The CAL
weston jetty and the first lefty at
Arkansas Pass built at the same time
and OF sl-Lllar constitution, except
that rock was used In place or brick,
also failed, showing that this type
OF construction is not strong enough
to Withstand the heavy seas OF the
Gulf Of Mexico.
In recent dredging Of the jetty
channel. many OF the bricks used
in this jetty construction were
pumped up from the bottom OF the
pass"
This type OF jetty construction is
used at Mas, Holland, Captain
Lane states
In his article Captain Lane traces
the Development OF this deep wa
ter project from the time that the
first white man put In az the mouth
OF the Rio Grande. This was a
small party OF SpaniardS who In 1896
came up from Tampico to the Rio
Grande.
During the remaining years OF
the century the Rio Grande was
visited occasionally by Spanish ships
driven northward by storms and by
French and British pirates plying
northward from the Spanish main.
but no organized exploration was
made" he states.
Early IN 1886 Captain John Haw-
kins. the noted English freebooter,
Is believed To have brought his boats
into the Laguna Madre from the
Brazos Santiago pass to careea and
refit for his descent upon the SPAN
ish forces at Tampico."
Captain Lane brings out that be-
tween that time and the middle of
the eighteenth century the warlike
Indians OF the area checked any
further attempt at colonization or
exploration In the section. IN i748
the Spanish colonization began IN
earnest.
History indicates that the Brazos
Santiago pass was used TO some ex-
tent In establishing and supplying
these early settlements. This pass
was used In preference to the Rio
Grance because II has always had
2 or more feet OF water over the bar
while the average similar depth at
the mouth OF the Rio Grande has
been only 3 feet"
The article traces Importance Of
the port at Brazos during the war
OF 1886, and during the Civil War.
and It's development as a seaport up
until 1882, when the railroad 10
Laredo was built. The decline from
then on until 1904. when the build
ing OF the railroad 70 Brownsville
brought the finishing touches is
traced.
Captain Lane then tells the story
Of the recent development Of the
port.
He discusses the prospects Of the
new norris at RrOurnSvfila and BORT
Isabel. and concludes that they have
possibilities Of becoming success
tui seaports.
