Vision of a Deep Harbor in Venice's Early Boom Years
The Venice project advanced with BLE Realty Corp and Dr. Albee promoting a deep water harbor via Casey’s Pass. Major Gen. Black was hired as consulting engineer, with jetties later funded by the Army Corps and a nine foot channel to Roberts Bay. The port never saw commercial ships but left strong harbor infrastructure and notable uses in WWII and Coast Guard history.
