Lynchburg Ferry Traces Texas Tradition Since 1822
In southeast Harris County the Lynchburg Ferry and Washburn Tunnel keep daily traffic flowing across the Houston Shipping Channel. About 1,000 vehicles use the ferry daily as tourists visit nearby San Jacinto Park, Battleship Texas, the San Jacinto Monument, and Monument Inn. The ferry once operated the Hobby and Sterling vessels built by Todd Shipyard in 1964. Hours were cut in 2004 to save costs.
