Ships and Shad
The Buccaneer, a five-masted barkentine painted to look like a pirate ship (photographed minus some masts in 1936 at Hastings' Tower Ridge Yacht Club), was a feature of the riverfront for decades. With its wooden hull, it was already outmoded when built in Texas in 1918, but as The City of Beaumont, it sailed the Atlantic as a freighter before becoming a floating nightclub here in the 1930s. It ended its days as a grounded breakewater, along with The Lancaster (launched in Maryland in 1892) that protected the co e just south of this park. The steel-hulled Lancaster was also a platform for shacks used by shad fishermen to smoke and sell their catch.

de The City of Beaumont antes de convertirse en un club nocturno flotante aquí en la década de 1930. Sus días terminaron al convertirse, junto con The Lancaster (echado a la mar en Maryland en 1892), en un rompeolas encallado que protegía la encenada justo al sur de este parque. The Lancaster, cuyo casco era de acero, era también una plataforma para chozas usadas por los pescadores para ahumar y vender la pesca del día.
