1 Abandoned Vessel & Structure Removal Program Texas General Land Office Oil Spill Prevention and Response Division Region 1 - Nederland, Texas

2 TGLO Oil Spill Field Offices Austin, TX 1. Nederland, TX 2. La Porte, TX 5. Port Lavaca, TX 3. Corpus Christi, TX 4. Brownsville, TX

3 Documented Sunken Vessels I I Removed Documented 1,087 vessels identified.

4 Why? Due to low catch prices and higher fuel cost, the entire commercial fishing (shrimping) fleet was entering a decline. And given the number of abandoned vessels in our Texas coastal waterways, TGLO saw a need for an Abandoned Vessel & Structure Removal Program.

5 HB 2096, 79th Regular Session, OSPRA DERELICT VESSELS AND STRUCTURES Amends several sections of Oil spill Prevention and Response Act (OSPRA) to give Texas General land Office more authority to remove and dispose of abandoned vessels.

6 NOAA documents scores of shipwrecks in the Sabine Neches Waterway

7 These include some historical shipwrecks... whereabouts unknown A English slave ship which ran aground on a mud flat at Blue Buck Point in Sabine Lake. September The Federal Collier Manhasset which came ashore near Sabine Pass and wrecked during a storm. September Twenty vessels anchored in the Sabine River at Orange which were sunk during an unnamed hurricane. Source: W. T. Block Local Historian

8 One of the first documented examples of abandoned vessels in the local waterway is the sixteen World War I Ferris designed wooden-hulled freighters scuttled in the Sabine River in The ships were built in Orange, Texas as part of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, which was enacted in1917 by President Woodrow Wilson.

9 The ships were built to compensate for the shortage of existing steel shipyards, thus bridging the gap in shipping created by the wartime emergency. Each were feet long, 45-feet wide, coal-fired, "threeisland" ship of 3,500 deadweight tons.
