Bolivar Ferry, Galveston, Texas

    The "L. P. Featherstone" was a rail barge with 3-tracks and a capacity of 18 railcars, built in 1908 for the Gulf & Inter-State Railway. The G&I's track extended from Beaumont to Pt. Bolivar, from whence its trains were ferried 3 miles across Galveston Bay to the same-named island. The barge's namesake was Lewis Porter Featherstone, one of the contractors who had helped build the G&I, later owned it, and was instrumental in helping Galveston overcome the aftermath of the Great Hurricane of 1900. The G&I also owned one tugboat, the "J. W. Terry," which might be the tug shown here; does anyone know? What is likely an older G&I rail barge appears in this collection at www.flickr.com/photos/smu_cul_digitalcollections/6501436499 .
